To further pattern with something like Bluegill, when just supplementing the natural forage base, providing it with nutrients as a diet made for catfish works fine. As I push the Bluegill to grow faster with less dependence on the natural forages, then feeds with more protein, lipids and vitamins is sought.
All please note a very important and correct point made by Jim above. This Forum has members/readers of all types wrt feeding. From No feeding to various ranges of sup feeding to a high reliance on feeding - all types are present. There are many studies that stress that the biggest problem found in waters surveyed is the lack of adequate food for the fish present. In such cases even a small amount of supp feeding can make a difference. It is many times more energetically efficient especially in low resource circumstances. Even low end catfish food is much , much better than no feed. Its all about the situation , goals and options available to the manager.
