[QUOTE="Boone25/06, post: 5399252, member: 15523"] Yes I have a Sweeney auto feeder. It’s set to feed 45min after sunrise then at 12:00 and again at sunset. I feed mostly purina aquamax mvp or optimal fish food. 40%~43% protein. Main thing with bluegill is a quality fish meal based feed. No grain based as they do not convert it as a catfish would. The best thing I did in the beginning is stock Mississippi grass shrimp and fatheads the year before putting any fish in. Literally I stocked 1200 grass shrimp that would barely fill a solo cup up and within a year you could net 50 or more per scoop around pond bank. They gave the fish a huge jump start. It doesn’t hurt the bluegill are coppernose variety. They grow fast and thick but not as long. A 8” coppernose will weight what a 10” northern bluegill will basically. [/QUOTE]
