Before you cut the excess off, put the nut on, then cut the excess, when you take the nut off it will re thread the tube and be easier to get the strainer on and off.
Shad are a bit tricky. They usually require a circular tank to stay alive. They habitually swim in circles and will run into the walls of rectangular tanks. I am not sure that this pump would move enough water to aerate a large deep freezer. I will reach out to my friend Zack Smith to upload a video. He is the shad man.
@@kirkoutdoors8806 oh okay. Since those dudes cheated a few weeks ago…I’ve learned a lot about tournaments. But I won’t enter, it’s like your donating to the winner….unless you catch a massive MASSIVE fish.
@@blaccsilverstaff5484 I usually just fish local club tournaments where everyone knows each other. Not that much money involved. $25 entry fees with 10-20 boats. It’s fun when you can trust the guys you’re fishing against. I have a video on my channel where we won a little tournament on lake Cumberland.
If you take a bilge pump and turn it upside down and then take a thick piece of styrofoam and cut out a circular hole the size of the pump intake and then strap the pump to the styrofoam and float it in the chest with the styrofoam on the top it will aerate the water far better than any other method. It will basically push out air foam into the chest. You might have to turn it off to see the bait in the bottom of the chest but I've kept shrimp alive a full day in summer without losing a shrimp in the chest.
