How much have my bluegill grown in 1 year?

Folks have been asking how big the bluegill have gotten so got some crickets and headed down to the pond to catch a couple and even got some underwater video! They have turned into fat pigs lining up at the feeder every day!

    I use eagle claw carlisle ANZ size 8. 218F-8 is stock number. They have long shanks so its easy to pop it out of their mouths. Or easy to reach with needle nose if swallowed. Very seldom do I have to cut the line so they can work it out.

    More concerned about my bluegill than my bass. I can no longer afford purina aquamax 400 grower. So i now feed mine catfish FINGERLING food. Feeding 3 times a day. I see greatly improved growth rates compared to not feeding them but not nearly as much as with the purina. A few weighed slightly over a pound after 1 year.

    You have the correct balance in there! Glad to see those gills and how fat they’ve gotten. Thanks for your information as to how and when you feed them....I don’t have a feeder and usually feed mine manually around 5:30 pm with the same feed... What feeder do you use? I want some consistency, so I’m thinking about getting one. That way I stop getting so attached. My wife probably thinks that I’m some basket case as I call the fish my babies when I come in the house from a feeding.

    I enjoyed your video. I have a 3000 gallon koi pond with about a dozen bluegill in it. Do you feed your bluegills year round? I have always stopped feeding the bluegill when I stopped feeding the koi usually when water temp falls below 50 degrees. I use game fish pellets from TSC. For a treat I feed the bluegills turkey bacon. Kind of expensive but they go crazy for it.

  • @DinsmoreOutdoors

    @DinsmoreOutdoors

    5 жыл бұрын

    yes I feed them all year around, the same feed from TSC that you use. Just during the summer they feed in the morning and in the evening, and when it getting colder in the winter the get one feeding in the afternoon when the water is the warmest for the day and it only a small amount so those who want to eat still can.

    Nice looking Gills! I was hoping you would catch one of those Redbreast . Aren't Redbreast like Shellcrackers by only spawning once a year? I guess it kind of stands to reason you'd always have much fewer of them than the Gills I reckon?

    Have a question. I’m planning on restocking my pond soon and start with some bluegills but wondering what I can put in the pond so they can eat on their own I live about an hour away from where my pond is located and only go out there on weekends so feeding them pellets will be a problem.

  • @DinsmoreOutdoors

    If there are no fish in the pond at all, I would order minnows from anderson`s and stock them first, then you stockk 1,000 bluegills a acre. the larger automatic feeders like I have you can fill up with 50lbs of feed and would really have to fill it back up every 3 weeks to a month depending how much you feed. for me its once a month.
