Livewell Fish Care Very Important
During Summer Months
The popularity o bass shing has exploded
during the last 20 years. During this time many
changes have taken place, including increases
in shing technology and the advent o more
restrictive harvest regulations. However, one o the
most important changes includes increased angler
acceptance o catch and release practices. There is
no doubt that the popularity o catch and release
has helped sustain and enhance bass sheries
throughout Texas. Currently, almost all bass
tournaments require release o all live sh weighedin and penalize those with dead bass. In addition,
conservation o the resource should be a major
consideration o all tournament anglers. Thereore,
tournament anglers should do everything possible
to ensure survival o released sh. By ollowing the
guidelines below, anglers can minimize stress on
bass while held in livewells.
All sh care recommendations are based on
water temperature, oxygen, ammonia levels, and
proper handling o sh. Stress in the livewell
occurs as a result o low oxygen levels and
ammonia buildup rom sh waste. As water
temperatures increase, water holds less oxygen,
bass consume more oxygen, and ammonia
becomes more toxic. This implies that as the
water temperatures increase, sh in a livewell
require more attention and care in order to
reduce stress.
When water temperatures are below 75 degrees
and less than 10 pounds o bass are in the
livewell, at a minimum anglers should run either
the recirculating (aerating) pump or intake
pump at timed intervals. These timers should be
set to run as oten as possible. By recirculating
water, uniodized salt can be added to livewellwater (1/3 cup per 5 gallons o water) to match
the body fuid salt concentration o bass (0.5%).
Fish experiencing stress absorb excess water
while in the livewell, diluting body fuids below
levels necessary or survival. Maintaining the
salinity o livewell water to that o sh body fuids
minimizes eects o stress. Uniodized salt is cheap
and can be purchased in bulk (30+ pound bags)
at your local eed store under the name Stock
Salt. Pre-measured amounts o salt can be
carried in ziplock bags. Many commercial waterconditioners (i.e., catch and release ormulas)
cannot be recommended by state agencies, not
due to ineectiveness, but because the ingredients
have not been tested by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration as sae or human consumption.
I water is recirculated, replace hal o the
livewell water every 3 hours to prevent toxic
ammonia build up that results rom sh waste.
When water is replaced, additional salt needs to
be added. Pumping resh water in on a timer with
intake pumps prevents toxic ammonia buildupbut prevents use o salt additives. When there
are more than 10 pounds o bass in the livewell,
anglers must run either recirculating or intake
pumps continuously to ensure optimal livewell
conditions. Adequate, ully charged boat batteries
should have no problem providing continuous,
all-day power to the pumps.
When water temperatures are above 75
degrees, anglers must run their recirculating
pumps continuously, even i there is only
one bass in the livewell. As discussed above,
uniodized salt must be added to keep sh in
the best shape possible. For boats equipped only
with timer-operated pumps, the switches should
be replaced to allow the pumps to operate in
continuous mode. Again, at these temperatures,
running pumps on a timer does not maintain
adequate oxygen levels in livewells. At these
warmer temperatures, cooling the livewell water
with ice is very important and allows it to hold
more oxygen and reduces oxygen consumption
by bass. Enough ice needs to be added to reduce
the livewell temperature 5-10 degrees below
reservoir surace temperature. However, excessive
cooling beyond 10 degrees can cause heat shockand death when bass are released back into the
lake. Block ice is preerred (it lasts longer) and
can be made by reezing water in hal-gallon
milk jugs or 12-ounce water bo ttles. Again, when
using recirculating pumps hal the livewell water
needs to be exchanged every 3 hours to prevent
ammonia buildup. When water is exchanged,
additional ice and salt need to be added. As a
rule, 8 pounds o ice will cool the typical livewell
5-10 degrees or 3 hours. A rozen, hal-gallon
milk jug will weigh 4 pounds. During a typicaltournament day (8-9 hours), 8 pounds o ice
added every 3 hours when water is exchanged
should maintain a cooler livewell temperature.
Thermometers are a must to insure water is not
cooled more than 10 degrees. Thermometers
used to measure vehicle air conditioning work
well and can be purchased at auto stores. Most
o the electronic GPS/sonar units can support
additional temperature sensors that can be
permanently mounted in livewells. Here, ability
to plot both livewell temperatures and thelake surace temperature on the GPS/sonar
screen allows or continuous monitoring and
adjustment o livewell temperatures.
To maintain livewell-held bass in the best
possible shape, pure oxygen-injection systems
(oxygen bottle, regulator, and ne-pore air
diuser) can be installed or under $300. By ar,
lack o oxygen is the primary reason sh die in
livewells. During the most extreme conditions
(i.e., 15 + pounds o bass in a livewell over
85 degrees), these systems are the only way to
maintain optimum oxygen levels. I have this
system installed in my boat, and would be happy
to display and discuss this equipment with
anyone that is interested. A TPWD presentation
on these oxygen systems can be ound at the web
link at the end o the article.
Fish hooked in the gills or stomach may
die even with appropriate care due to excess
bleeding. Dead sh will cause poor water quality
conditions in the livewell and should be removed
immediately and placed on ice. However, as
required by state game laws, dead sh must be
retained as part o your daily limit. It is illegal to
cull dead sh.The weigh-in is an additional stress actor.
Probably the most important thing anglers
can do during this time is to not carry bass in
dry bags rom the boat to the holding tanks.
As simple as this sounds, it is surprising how
many anglers do not take the time to get enough
water in the bags to prevent stress during the
time the sh are put into the bag until they
reach the lie-support tanks or scales. Fill your
weigh-in bag with at least 4 gallons o water
rom your livewell, especially i you have beenusing ice to cool the livewell water. Holding tanks
at the weigh-in line should be aerated, cooled
with ice, and treated with salt. Eort should be
taken while in the line to exchange the original
water in the bag with the aerated, treated water
in the tanks and to keep your bag submerged
in the holding tanks. Many tournaments
now have multiple air stones in each holding
tank or placement inside your weigh-in bag.
Oxygenating your water in the weigh-in bag
while in line is absolutely critical, as oxygenin the weigh-in bag can drop to zero in just a
couple o minutes!
I sh are held or pictures, wet hands beore
touching sh. Grasp sh by lower jaw but never
bend the head down or hold horizontally by
jaw. Avoid touching the body o the sh as this
removes the protective mucous covering. When
holding bigger sh, the lower body should also
be supported with a wet hand under the belly
to prevent jaw damage. Do not keep sh out o
water any longer than you can hold your breath.
Air exposure is extremely stressul to sh.

What can I do toget rid of bugs?
It is the time o the year when people are
spending more time outdoors enjoying all
that nature has to oer. The many good things
that people enjoy can be spoiled by several bad
things such as sun burn, poisonous plants,
or insects. There are only a couple o ways to
ght the rst two things, but there are many
methods to control insects. Many o them ocus
on chemicals or either preventing them rom
biting or killing them outright. The methodso chemical control are very numerous and
readily available, but other methods that are less
harmul and oten cheaper arent as well known.
Knowing about these other methods can help as
they may not be as harsh (to the environment or
people) and can be cheaper.
Organic pesticides are becoming more
common and cheaper in many stores. These
products are supposed to be easier on the
environment than chemical pesticides. They can
be used in similar ashion to the nonorganic
products. Many products that can help with
insect control can have other uses such as
diatomaceous earth, egg shells, and hot red
pepper sprays/powders to name a ew. These can
oten be placed or sprayed around areas to create
a barrier that insects will not cross. With any
pesticide always ollow all instructions on theproduct label.
Bats and birds that eat insects can be
attracted through the creation o suitable
habitat (some insects can be scared away with
just the sounds o these animals). Bat and
nest boxes can be placed throughout the area
hopeully attracting animals to help with the
insect problem (plans or boxes can be ound on
the internet). An example o the impact animals
can have is the bat colony at Bracken Cave (near
Austin). This colony has around 20 million
Mexican-ree tailed bats living there and each
night they will eat 250 million tons o insects.
On a more local scale a modest colony o 150 big
brown bats can eat 33 million cucumber beetles.
Placing water in easy to access areas can help
recruit animals to the area. All water should be
kept clean and lled. For birds water should beplaced where predators cant attack the birds
when they come or water. Bats need open area
around water (bats drink while fying and dont
stop to drink).
The habitat in which the insects live can
be modied to reduce their numbers. These
can oten be simple things. Keeping the area
around a house mowed and manicured can
help reduce some populations o insects such
as ticks and chiggers. Draining standing water
can reduce the area avorable or some insects
to breed. Watering correctly can prevent plants
rom becoming stressed and more susceptible
to insect inestations. By not killing all insects
a more stable environment can be created in
which predator and prey relationships can keep
population levels under control.
Insects can be controlled using organicpesticides, animals, and the habitat around
them. A ew techniques were pointed out in
this article, but it should be a starting point or
control that doesnt just have to include bug
repellent and chemical spray. A small change in
the way things are managed can have a large
impact on comort.

The lake is in great shape with waterup in the buck brush and lots o weedsthat went under water when the lakelled back up. There are some willowtrees out on the points in 6 to 8 t. owater. The pencil grass and pepper grassis everywhere and things look awesomeor the top water bite. But to say thingshave been dierent is to say the least.The cold ronts have just kept comingand coming keeping things stirred up.The hydrilla has been holding sh,when you can nd it. The top waterbite should have kicked o. That canbe a lot o un; early morning andlate aternoon; throwing baits like theStanley Ribbit rogs over the grass and
lily pads. It takes some skill to let thesh have the bait till you eel someweight on the line beore you set thehook. It will sure get the old heartpumping when you get into a mess o
them and wait or one to blow up onthe bait!
Another couple o old baits are theBuzzbait, Zara Spook and the Pop-Rthese can really get some action. Whenthe morning bite slows down it is timeto move out and start working thedeeper edges o the grass and structure.A ew baits that come to mind are theCarolina Rig, Texas Rig and Stanley Jig.These baits are great to work the edgesand structure. As the grass grows and iit starts to matt over the grass jig comesinto play. Punching a heavy Stanleygrass jig thru it can be a lot o work butwhen you get a bite it is usually a prettygood sh. There are not going to be a
lot o bites doing this so dont miss anyo them. This is what to look or as thesummer heats up.
The crappie shing has started tostabilize into the summer pattern over
structure and we been catching a loto good sh rom the pontoon. Theselittle critters are some o the best eatingthat I can think o. Grabbing a groupo riends and getting out on the watercan be so much un or everyone youngor old. For the ones that dont have aboat we can help you out. Weve got a 20oot Pontoon boat that can handle upto 8 anglers and can put you on somene crappie. Those that need shade,weve got that, a an and a changingroom with potty. No more pressure. Itsa great way to get away rom stress andhave tons o un. Take mom and pop orthe kids shing today. Ill try my best tospoil you!!
Here we are, the rst month o thesummer and ater the spring/winter/spring May we had, we are now let towonder is it really summer yet? I thatquestion is on our minds, it may alsobe conusing or the sh so i what youhave always done to catch them isntworking, keep in mind the patterns maybe a little slow to start this summer.
June is typically the rst ull montho top water action on Sam Rayburn,with the pepper grass to the top o thesurace and lily pads growing good, andall the fooded hay grass, it should be agreat start to the summer.
Lets start o about shing aroundthe pepper grass. Frogs are the rstbaits that pop into the mind o manyanglers. And yes, rogs are great aroundpepper grass but not the only thing youshould be thinking about; working a3/8 oz Cyclone spinnerbait on the edgeworks great too. Another thought is towork a V&M Chopstick over the top andlet it all down into the middle o thepepper grass, or try a TX rigged 10 inchworm and swim it around and over the
pepper grass. But, the rog, i you want,is good, and both Strike King and Sproare good choices.
Now, about the lily pads, rogs againare going to be the top choice or shingthe pads. I like to use a V&M buzz rogand work it close to the holes betweenthe pads. For the thickest parts o thepads it is best to stay with the StrikeKing or Spro hollow belly rogs. Otherthan a rog, another choice is to a fipa V&M Beaver or fipping a jig into thepads. You can also work a Zara Spookor Pop R around the edge o the pads.
On to the fooded hay grass... I reallydont think any o us have truly guredout how to catch them out o here yet,at least I havent, but I keep trying! The
best way I have ound is to start with aTexas rigged 10 inch worm and swim itover the top o the grass. You can alsofip a beaver style bait into it, or work arog over the top.
For deeper sh, which is really moremy style, you can start by working aStrike King 6XD crankbait on mainlake points rom 10 to 15 t o water,or work a Carolina rigged V&M trickworm in these same areas, and dontorget about using Texas rigged worms
too. Youll see results rom all o thesetechniques and baits!
As the month progresses and
summer really sets in, we shouldstart seeing some school sh showingup. These sh might show up a littlelater than normal, again because wehave had such a cool spring, but theschooling action will start to show upeventually, and the middle o the daywill be the best time to look or them.When they do, youll want to be readywith a rod already rigged up with achrome or shad colored Strike King RedEye Shad (1/4 oz or oz), or clear orshad colored top water bait such as aSpook or Tiny Torpedo. I the schoolgoes down, crank down into it with a
Sexy Shad colored crankbait. You canalso drop a oz or oz slab spoon.Summer time is un time on the
