Is there a number of turtles that can be detrimental? I have a 1 acre pond and counted 40 red ear sliders or painted turtles last night when feeding. I have began feeding at the same time and same spot for a couple of weeks now and still see no sign of my 1 year old channel catfish or bluegill. Its possible they are just waiting on me to leave but I was also curious if those young fish might be too shy to get close to those turtles? When i throw feed in it looks like a turtle army coming at me.
