Got out to the pond just in time to watch them feed. Lots of smaller fish it seems. The pellets were consumed in less than 5 minutes. I may increase the feed times by another 25% tomorrow. Water temp was 75 degrees....a little elevated for this time of year normally.
I know right! I keep increasing daily! Those GSF and CC are eating machines. If they keep eating like this, they're gonna eat me out of house and home!
My GSF came in with a flood that filled the pond overnight. They were so prolific the first year...I would catch 4-5 distinct sizes. I culled out 350 of them and gave them to a neighbor whose pond had "turned over" and had killed all his large BG breeders. His LMB were living by canibalizing their own spawn. Once I got some predators (LMB, BC, and CC) stocked (after about a year) I very seldom catch a GSF. Given time, your predators should take care of your GSF issue.
