Dang, they are some aggressive CNBG!!!

Here's a video we shot at a client property for Purina Mills a few years ago. They wanted a video which explains the different feeds for some of their stores. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiGBW-P8ECo

Dang, they are some aggressive CNBG!!! I underfeed them, and only throw 3/8" Cargill at this feeder, so the competition level is pretty high. What's interesting about this location, is that there are 2 schools of CNBG that feed here. One feeds close to the bank, and one always feeds offshore. The offshore school have the largest CNBG, and they only seem to move in during the spawns.

I under feed mine also. With warm temps they are now hitting the feed hard.
Feeding about 1.5# per acre of AM MVP on a 3 acre pond currently, but once I am sure the water temps are not going to drop again, will bump that up to 2.5-3#.
I would feed more, but ignoring the cost involved, my main concern is water quality. Had some problems last year with bluegreen algae and that is a problem I would like to avoid or at least minimize. I figure higher levels of feed can only make it worse.

Enjoy watching all these videos, It is nice to have them all in one post. I know there are others scattered around the forum as well. Maybe could add to archive and include links to the others?
Another idea that could be interesting is an Archive post where each Member post a picture/video of their pond, list size and species etc...maybe a short summary of the history etc. I know these are scattered around as well. Be nice to go to one place to see a quick snapshot of everyone's pond. Some include this info in their signature which is another good idea.
