Noticed your rod holder strap on your bait tank. Do y’all happen to sell those or know where I can get one? I’ve been looking for a while and having a hell of a time finding one. Thx.
Hey might be a stupid question I have similar setup and it is hard to net all the shad because I got a 550 gallon tank and there going crazy.. do you just net them or do you have any tips or tricks to get them all out
I have not added any cooling. But I also do not keep much bait in the dead of summer. Otherwise it seems with it being shaded and sitting on concrete that it stays cool enough when i use it
Id say a month or so. Things are definitely a lot harder in the warmer weather. Like I do not load it down as much. Try to just get enough for a couple of trips. The fact that my tank sits directly on concrete and adding the insulation seemed to help a lot as it stays fairly cool even without a chiller.
I’ve never trolled before and as I’m watching your video, how do you know how deep your running with any given length of line that’s out if you have no prior experience or chart to go by ?
Experience, trial and error, but with the rigs we are using,we have found as mentioned earlier in the video that 75 feet back is 4 to 5 feet below the downrigger ball hope this helps
1 thing I'd suggest is slow down the current. Current makes bait have to swim non stop and takes it toll on them. You will have more dead bait or weak bait seeing as they need to swim 24 hours a day
I have not tried it. I considered it but with the lake being close it's really easy for me to top off. I do not put salt in my tank because I keep bluegill and trout sometimes and they seem to be sensitive to the salt.
Thanks man. Don't think thumping/dead sticking will get tournament quality fish most of the time but at that point of the day I was just trying to get on the board!!
There are a lot of people that use those tote tanks. I know plenty that use similar settings to mine and those and keep bait fine. Just remember you wont be able to keep as much.
That is incorrect. Clear boards have the foam only on one side which makes them want to flop over at low speeds and until they are far enough away from the boat to grab. All planer boards are similar.
