    2008 Zx190 live well question

    Is there a trick to keeping crappie alive in these things? Two days of fishing and they will not stay alive. Thanks.

    If it's 1000 degrees outside put a little ice in the livewell. Not a crazy amount, don't want to freeze them or shock them. Just two cups or so every hour. And keep the airator on if there's a lot of them in there. That's about all I do and they stay alive enough to flop when they're getting processed at the end of the day.

    Tell us what you're doing now, Janky. And where you are would help too. It's nice and cool "at the end of the bar" so your fish should live a good long time :D

    My boat is up at Toledo Bend right now. I will be heading up there on Wednesday. My starboard livewell has a black circle thing that when I run the recirc a milky cloud comes out. I hope to get some pics and maybe a video to illustrate what I am saying. I was able to keep my bass alive ok, but the crappie turn on their sides quickly and eventually die.
