    Fish Feeder - Which Feed?

    I am hanging a fish feeder soon, hoping it helps to attract for my grandson. Purina is a lot more expensive than Sportsman's Choice. What is recommended?

          This is the feeder I've had on my pond for a little over 6 years and it's been dependable.

          Texas Hunter Fish Feeder - 70 lb. Fish Feed, 125 lb. Corn Capacity – with Adjustable Legs

          #html-body [data-pb-style=UWM6VVA]{justify-content:flex-start;display:flex;flex-direction:column;background-position:left top;background-size:cover;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-attachment:scroll}#html-body [data-pb-style=WXWEA5O],#html-body [data-pb-style=YBW3CI5]{text-align:left}Fishing is a favorite pastime for millions of Americans. But hand-feeding fish every day to maximize their growth can become less of a pleasurable hobby and more of a hassle. Texas Hunter Products offers a better solution. Our dependable fish feeders dispense feed regularly in any weather condition. You'll help fish grow larger while also drawing them to your area. As part of our premium fish feeder selection, this 70-pound-capacity fish feeder is uniquely built to draw fish in small lakes, ponds and similar areas. With a reliable digital timer, dual motors and optional solar charging, you'll find these fish feeders to be the most innovative in the industry. Because the success of your fish-feeding program hinges on feeding fish accurately and reliably, we've engineered a Premium Digital Timer for long-term, maintenance-free operation. Feed times are immensely precise. Just set the timer for up to nine feed times per day and watch the fish come swarming to the spot. The timer features a battery tester, so you'll know if your lake fish feeder is performing accurately at the push of a button. You can also test the feeder's operation conveniently. Texas Hunter fish feeders also make it easy to fill, refill and store your feed. The low profile is less than 4 feet tall, which means you can add food without straining to lift large feed bags. Once you’ve filled the feeder, the latch-on lid locks in place to prevent any animals from gaining access to your feed. From filling to feeding, each aspect of the lake fish feeder is designed to help you grow bigger fish faster. Order your pond fish feeder today, or contact us for more information.      


          And this is the feed I've been using. Tractor Supply carries it.

              I bought this feeder. And, that exact feed at Tractor Supply is what I was planning to use unless there are complaints about it. Click image for larger version Name: T.H. HF100.webp Views: 161 Size: 26.9 KB ID: 101907

                  the catfish will be thrilled, I'm sure...
                  they'll be waiting for it to go off every time...

                  We use 1/2 sinking and 1/2 floating - some for the bass and bluegill and the floating for the cats.
                  Buy from Carmine Feed or the fish farm guy.

                      That sounds like a possible good idea, 1/2 & 1/2

                      We are using Sportsman's Choice and get it at Tractor Supply or our local feed store.

                          I had problems with the floating food because the turtles would get it before the fish. I wish I could shoot them

                            We use the Pond King trap and it works great.

                                Since I will be doing this on Lake Livingston, I don't think I can put a dent in the turtle population.

                                Too many neighbors around the lake that don't share my views on turtles

                                        IF it were me I would use a ring of PVC to hold it and keep the wind from taking your feed away, you won't need to use it but a week or so.
                                        Well cut my legs off and call me shorty
