Super User Catch and Grease Posted July 4, 2014 Super User Posted July 4, 2014 I'm fishing my first summer tournament this weekend and I'm excited, anybody got some tips for me? How do you guys manage a live well during the summer? I've never had a tourney fish die but I've also never had a summer tourney.... Quote
Super User slonezp Posted July 4, 2014 Super User Posted July 4, 2014 First off, make sure the livewell is clean and pumps are working. 20:1 water bleach mix to clean. Circulate it thru the pumps and rinse, fill and drain thoroughly. There's a couple things you can do during the day. I keep my aerator on auto and recirc on constant throughout the day. If I have to sit before weighing in, I will put some Catch and Release in the well, and maybe some hydrogen peroxide. 1oz per 3 gallons is what's recommended. Some guys keep frozen 1 liter water bottles in the cooler and add as needed keeping the pumps on recirc all day but not adding new water. Good Luck 1 Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted July 4, 2014 Author Super User Posted July 4, 2014 Well I just figured out my aerator isn't even working so I took it out, guess I gotta grab another before the tournament. Fishing a tournament without an aerator would be dumb wouldn't it? Quote
CDMeyer Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Cycle the aerator and keep ice in her and she should be good to go Quote
CDMeyer Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Maybe try some of that Catch and Release, stress reliving live well supplement Quote
