Re: What do you do if you aerator doesnt work

With most boats you can open your live well valve then start your big motor, place motor in reverse then throttle up some. This will push water into your live well with the motor. This will also help fill your live wells up faster if needed.

I have found this year fishing to be below normal for size and numbers from years past.

Any ideas of as why? Drought? Weird spring? Lakes dropping to fast during the fall causing fish to suspend? Lack of bait fish? Fish kill because of water draw down?

Turn your sensitivity down to around 70%-80% this might help. Make sure only one unit is on.

Since 100% no longer has a resonable cost pro team i'm thinking about fishing a Delta and or possibly a Mother lode circuit.
