I’m fishing in my first ever bass tournament and my friend and I are doing it as a team. It is a local small tournament and within the entry fee they give you a 16’ flat bottom Jon boat but the head of the tournament stated that I need to bring an electric trolling motor and battery. So my first question is what kind of electric trolling motor setup should I get that I can mount on to the boat. The second question I have is what kind of livewell setup should I use? The head of the tournament said for a livewell just bring a cooler. However I know from having a fish tank that putting a fish in stressful situations like that could be problematic to the fishes health and well-being I was planning on using ice, getting an aerator setup, getting some kind of water conditioner that eliminates ammonia. The tournament is for 8hrs. 5 bass limit with a weigh in at the end and the it’s on a lake that you’re not allowed any gas motors over 4hp. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
