tracy, jpsdad, and NEDOC, thanks for the input. Location really does matter, especially cover near the feeder. Weeds & sunken brush around dock make that feeder the most successful in generating CNBG growth and attracting LMB, HSB and even a few TP. Also, as it is easy to access, that's where I usually hand throw larger feed once or twice a week.
Knowing the peculiarities of my feeder locales is important to my assessment of the results. One is on the dock, one is at the corner of the dam, and one is near a large spawning area.
I have not yet gotten any AM MVP from the local Purina store, just AM Sportsfish chow. Hopefully they will order MVP if I ask, as it is much more comparable to Optimal BG feed. AM is considerably cheaper, roughly 20-25 percent less per lb.
