Hey all, i'm new to the forum. I'm trying to help a friend out with his pond. It was built over 20 years ago, and hasn't been stocked since. He wants large bluegill to harvest, so i have him feeding every day, same time, same place. He's been doing it for about 2 weeks consistently and still doesn't quite have them "swarming" for the food. There are a couple swirls over the course of about ten minutes but that is it. Could this be because he is feeding in shallow, clear water (secchi of 4 feet)and feeding over spawning beds? Are they still just getting used to him being there? Do BG feed less on the surface when they are guarding nests? What's the longest it could take before they get used to him? Thanks for the help!
