[QUOTE="Boone25/06, post: 5399281, member: 15523"] Plenty of spawning habitat for the fatheads and throwing some feed in will help keep some pressure off them and help the numbers. If you do start feeding thinning the catfish will be a must. The fish meal based feeds are expensive and the catfish will vacuum it up. Feeding is the most effective way to grow bluegill as it only takes 2 pounds of pellets to gain 1 pound of fish. Where it’s close to 10 pounds of minnows to gain 1 pound of weight. The conversion rate is way better with dry pellets than eating minnows or other forage. Less energy expended to eat a pellet than chase a minnow. That said you can never have to much forage in the pond food chain is key. [/QUOTE]
