Pond Boss Forums MANAGING AN EXISTING POND Feeding Thinking about getting a feeder

Game Fish Chow is well suited to catfish, though a bit low on protein for BG and LMB. If CC is your number one goal, a wise choice.

As for feeders, my experience has been that Texas Hunter is very reliable. Since you live 90 minutes away, this is a big consideration. Cheaper feeders are out there, but in your shoes I'd go TH.

Feeding should start small but always be at the same time & place. If your fish are like mine, it might take a few weeks for them to wise up. Once they do, though, feeding should be consistent.

In the heat of summer, you may wish to feed early and/or late, not the middle of the scorching day. Probably go with just one or two seconds feeding time at first until they get the idea. If they scarf the pellets down quickly, you can go up on feeding time. Just let the fish be your guide. Best not to have it spreading over BG beds, nor in very shallow/weedy water. Good luck!
