Oxygen and water temp. While
Oxygen and water temp. While fishing the TOC , on the first day we only had 5 bass in the live well so I did not turn on my oxygen system due to the cooler water temps. The second day we had a 8 fish limit by 10:30 . Around 11:00 I checked on the fish and they were all at the top of the live well, so I turned on the oxygen system and about 1/2 hour later all the fish were at the bottom of the live well doing just fine. So even with the cooler water the oxygen is just as important. Now I will use it when filling my live well no matter the season.
