DD :

Thanks for the idea of the pipe on demand feeder.I am interested in using one for observation purposes. I have a location with good visability from a bank 4-5 feet above the water into water that goes from 1ft. to 8 ft. in depth within 10 ft. of the bank. Lots of large BG and bass frequent the area. If I put the pipe in this area I should be able to observe the BG and see if the bass use it as a feeding station. Maybe I can determine if its the BG feeding frenzy {activity} that trigger the bass or if it is the near motionless { easy & distracted prey} BG waiting on/eating food. Over time I may be able to see if the bass learn {become conditioned} and the BG react to the possible negative stimulus.

Do you know the size , number and pattern of the holes in the pipe . I have some 4in. pvc pipe that will work. A weighted plunger will keep the floating fish food at the water end of the pipe.

If anyone has any thoughts or ideas on this let me know.

Thanks -- ewest
