Im seeing a real benefit in the bluegills from feeding. Cant say bass pay any attention to the feed but the will bust hell out of a BG when ty are on the feed plus its a rush to see the catfish.

sounds just like my situation. I feed the fish 5-6 times a week, and the 'gills and cats come up for it. The bass sit below and wait to pick of one of the unsuspecting 'gills. Pretty cool to watch. I throw 10lbs of minnows in about every other year also, but the 'gills are getting huge and there are several 7ish lb bass in there now. I'll post a pic of the one my son caught last summer.
