I hate to see two 5-stars have even a hint of getting personal when I agree with BOTH your ratings.
I can understand both ML's and Greg's position, I think. I sure don't have enough experience to know either is wrong. I do have enough experience to know they both can be right even if they disagree. Greg know his clients' lakes better than anyone. Ditto ML for his water. But there are 3 states in between you guys as well as what are certain to be definitional differences that can be confusing things. Just one possible example: what may be "heavy fishing pressure" as reported to Greg by a third party could be lighter or heavier than "heavy fishing pressure" as ML defines it on his ponds. The exact answers lie in the Bass; I don't know if GA LMB and TX LMB agree on this issue, but I am sure they do not talk to each other.
We can give each other a lot of good ideas here, but it is up to each of us to implement any of them as we see fit AND to decide what is success, failure, or "needs improvement." I'm damn happy catching BG that would be seen by some as bait for Blue Catfish but that does not mean that either viewpoint is wrong. Just different viewpoints from different eyes.

Theo, I couldn't agree more with you. In fact, I think you may have really hit a proverbial nail on the head with your comment on fishing pressure. I fish my ponds a bunch, probably more than Greg's clients, at least it sounds that way. In fact, I fish every weekend and sometimes have one or more guests. Three weeks ago, I had 10 guests, all fishing. Now thats fishing pressure on small ponds. One guest swore he caught "100 bass in my 3/4 acre pond" (the one without feeders, sorry don't mean to go backwards again ). That pond needs significant rest now regardless of what kind of feeding is present....and does not have 100 bass either. At any rate, I've found that our differences are largely due to different and not understood variables, e.g. amount of fishing pressure. By discussing them, without personal rancor, we can almost always reach agreement and at the least learn in the process. Thanks Theo for your observations.

Yes i agree to, and thats why i havent posted in the last week as to not stir it up again.
Although, the topic was very educational and my question was answered.
As to why fish eat when they do I think it has to do with a little of everything that was suggested it just ends up to being whats in the particular fish's genetics and genes.
Thanks for all the great responses from all of you - Jighead
