Fish Care on HOT Days

Posted on July 19, 2019 by Patrick Henry

Fish Care Tips

Minimize handling and air exposure time. Land fish and remove hooks as quickly as possible.
Protect the slime coat. Don’t let fish flop on carpet or deck.
When the surface water temperature is less than 75° F, aerate the livewell by flushing with fresh water.
Run recirculating aeration continuously when the boat is moving and cannot pump in fresh water.
When surface water temperature exceeds 75° F, use continuous recirculation. Add a block of ice to cool the water. The target temperature of the water in the livewell should be 5° F cooler than the surface water temperature.
When operating the livewell in recirculation mode with more than 5 lb. of bass, replace half of the livewell water with fresh water every 3 hours to remove ammonia. When surface water temperatures exceed 75° F, add ice to lower livewell temperature to the target of 5° F cooler than the surface water temperature.
At weigh-in, fill bags with at least 2 gallons of livewell water.
Handle Fish with wet hands.

Additional recommendations for catch and delayed release bass tournaments:

Stager the weigh-in so fish are in bags for as little time as possible.
When anglers are waiting in line, never rest the bag on the hot pavement.
When air temperatures are especially warm minimize the number of pictures and any other activities that keep fish out of the water.
Livewells used to hold fish should be in working order and routinely flushing water with the lake environment in order to prevent excessive temperatures in the livewell.
Do not release floating bass. If a bass does not actively swim away at release it is better for the angler that caught the fish to harvest it as a part of his/her daily bag limit. Having an independent observer watching the release of all fish who is responsible for determining whether a fish should be kept or not is recommended.

Finally, smallmouth bass have an optimal preferred temperature that is 5-10° F cooler than that of largemouth bass.

These tips were shared with me by Michigan DNR.
