At 'dinner-bell' time, the first 30 seconds are nothing but the Big Mouth Bass slamming the surface and gobbling up the hydrated Optimal. They come out of the water and you can see the whole side and lateral line.
Perch are rocket fast and almost impossible to see. BG/HBG/RES are much slower and easy to see hit the food. Of course the darn Channel Cats open wide - like Hoover sweepers - and inhale large quantities on the surface as well.
I originally stocked with pellet-fed fish and after 6 years the 'kids of the kids of the kids' have all along the way have fed very strong on pellets.
