I turned the feeders back on today after hand feeding for the last week, and I'm happy to say that our CNBG and HSB were eating like Sunil at a Golden Corral.
After all the ice melted, and the water warmed up a bit, I started driving around the pond making daily checks for morts. So far, only one 10" LMB has floated to the top, and that was the day after the ice was completely gone.
Getting flamed when you don't know about it is like a tree falling in the forest when nobody's around.....
So, it's not clear if the CNBG and HSB were really feeding strong or not.
Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:" "She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."
