[QUOTE="lavacarancher, post: 1252849, member: 9198"] Fence, I have two feeders on my ponds that put out about 7 pounds a day. I feed about 50 pounds a week out of each one. One pond has hybrid cats that will go in the 20 to 30 pound range and eat a lot of feed. The other pond I just restocked (200 cats and a 100 bass along with 5000 minnows). That pond is nearly twice the size of pond one and has more diversity of fish including crappy and a few large large mouth bass that will go over 5 lbs. I use the 5 gal bucket feeders with an automatic whirly spinner mounted to the bottom of the bucket. Then I hang the bucket on a swiveling arm that gets pushed out over the pond to help keep the coons out of the feed. Seems to work pretty good until I forget to change the battery. Seems like one of the professors at A&M told me to feed enough until they stopped coming up to eat. Also, use cotton seed meal to fertilize the pond and put an aerator in the pond. My aerator is a bubbler type. I have two bubblers in the big pond and one in the small pond. They will turn the water over in my size ponds about twice a day. [/QUOTE]
