Large mouth bass fishermen who fish species of this practice and the release of this summer can follow some simple steps to make sure they catch fish biting today another attraction survive tomorrow.
Summer heat brings high temperatures and low dissolved oxygen levels in reservoirs and rivers - conditions that are difficult to largemouth bass, which can become stressed when taken.
To minimize stress on the fish, a fisherman who plans to release the fish and must land the fish quickly and handle as little as possible.
"Try not to remove the fish from the water, even when you remove the hook from the fish's mouth," said Christian Waters, a program director of fishing of wild species of NC Resources Commission. "Handle the fish as little as possible to help reduce the loss of the sludge layer, which is the main fish defense against infection and disease." Waters offers fishermen of other tips for a living mouth big mouth.
Wet hands before touching a fish
Return quickly to the fish in the water if you intend to keep or put in a pool
Use a knotless nylon or rubber thread knotted nylon mesh
The fishermen involved in fishing tournaments can reduce fish mortality by maintaining healthy oxygen and water quality in their tanks. Some ways to do this are:
Knowledge of the capacity of the pool and not to exceed a ratio of more than 1 kilo of coffee per liter of water
Running a continuous recirculation pump if more than 5 pounds of bass are in the pool
Use of fans or oxygen injection system to keep the oxygen level of the water above 5 parts per million (ppm)
Pool water maintained at about 5 degrees below the temperature of the dam or a river by adding ice blocks
Waters also recommends that tournament participants fill their bags with a weight of water in the pool, there is a tank or river water, before his decision. They should put only five fish in a bag, if under 4 pounds fish each. Finally, should limit the amount of time that the fish remains in bags in less than 2 minutes.
the fishing tournament organizers can do their part to help keep fish alive through the adoption of best management practices to all events. These include heavy narcotics both to reduce the time fish are kept in bags weighing, organizing low release boats back quickly with water and equipment recovery stations with oxygen and water recirculation. The organizers may also provide tanks water when weighing 5 degrees below the temperature of the tank or river and above 5 ppm levels of oxygen. They can also reduce the number of hours of competitive fishing.
An alternative to the traditional weighing tournament is to carry out a "paper tournament", which does not require weighing.
