Guys....
I'm not sure why, but when I use my livewell, it doesn't seem to keep fish alive like I think it should. Not all fish die, but I would think that they should all live.
It is a stock aluminum well that I can have recirculating constantly or on a cycle of about every 4-5 minutes (haven't actually timed it). It's been cleaned and sanitized VERY well. Not sure what's happening there, but I'm going to fish some tournys this year and you can't weigh dead fish. Something I'd like to solve before I am faced with an issue at weigh in.
i.e. a couple days ago, I put 3 crappie and 4 nice white bass in there. Time elapsed from the first fish to the last was about 4 hours. 1 bass was floating on its side by the time the 4 hours were up. Can't tell you if it was the first in, but it wasn't the last. I did have the recirculation on a timer the entire time fish were in there. What am I missing??
