Splash some peroxide in there if you run out of " release me" always good to have a bottle on the boat for accidents also. Summertime is when you have problems, not a real issue now. Be sure to recirculate once it gets hotter, we have all had them die, no matter what kind of well they are in.

My advise is: If the tournament is a shot-gun start hang back at take off (I'm sure you already know this) due to your slower boat. Have fun and don't get to involved with what everyone else is doing, I have been to very few where someone didn't zero. And be back for weigh in plenty of time. I wouldn't want to be the new guy showing up late.

I always go to were I am the most confident in catching keepers, then go and find bigger fish.
Good Luck Sir!

Just a few that come to mind...

1. Be familiar with the rules. Every tournament has a little different set of rules.
2. Get in the water early the morning of the tournament. This way you won't be in a rush to do anything. In a rush = mistakes
3. Put your navigation lights in while preparing for launch. Don't forget and try to do it once you are on the water.
4. Have all your lures and tackle ready the evening before the tournament. Don't try to be tying on lures in the dark the morning of the tournament.
5. If it's a tournament where you all take off from the same spot in a numbered order, once you get on the water, go beach your boat on the shore away from the ramp and get out of everyone's way.
6. Once you're beached on the bank, sit and watch other boats. This will teach you what to do and what not to do. You will see when boats get in the way of others. Take note and don't be that guy.
7. Make sure you know what time you must check in. Also, know what "check in" means. Will there be someone on a dock that checks you in when you pull in, or do you have to walk up to the weigh in and simply check in or do you have to be in line with your fish by check in. There's about 5-10 minutes difference the first option and the third option.

Back in the day, a fellow in a bass buster used to give everyone in the Granbury Bass club a thrashing on Proctor and Lake Stephenville, even with his dead fish penalties.
