Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding Fish dispersion when feeding

I suppose feeders concentrate the fish to areas around the feeders. I have two feeders on the same side of a 9 acre pond but probably 150 yards apart. There are hundreds of bream feeding at both.

Should i put up another feeder on the other side of the pond?

I would.

I see no fish around the feeder when it's not feeding time. Now 1/2 hr - 45 minutes prior to feeding the fish start to show up. 20 min after the food is gone, so are the fish.

I am going to. I ordered a Sweeney and it is two to three weeks out.

My bass will be here some time in June and want a good population all over the pond for food and not just the areas around those two feeders.

I don't see how it could hurt. May not help a lot but it can't hurt!!

Thanks for your input.

BG will travel all over a 9 acre pond following the feeders. If you set them 15 mins apart some will hit all 3 feedings. Have all 3 go off at the same time.

I 100 percent agree. Have them go off at the same time or you are just feeding the most aggressive fish. When I hand feed my ponds they follow the truck around the pond. It is the same ones by and large. That would be an advantage to feeders

I got all three going off the same. I think it is helping a lot. My bass fingerlings came week before last. It will be a couple a months I suspect before any of them are big enough to impact the feeder fish population.
