If they already hit the pellets you're almost there. Get a dither in there that will eat the pellets (monkey see monkey do) and only feed them pellets for a day. Only go as far as 1 day not feeding them at that size, don't starve just tempt. Do this every couple of days.
on small pbass I have good luck breaking them onto pellets by giver them a softer pellet like hikari carnivore sticks pre wet them and throw them in so they splash, .. when they get bigger I stick the sticks into smelt, tilipia, and market shrimp.. GL
