I have been wondering with all the talk about keeping shad alive I have not seen much about pure oxygen systems. Three years ago I bought a system and I will never go back to a pump system. I have tried most of the tanks out there and had good results but nothing like I get with oxygen.#1 My shad are more lively and healthy #2 I dont have wonder if my pump is working in the middle of the night and I dont have listen to the pump working when fishing.For a filter I use a small bag filter set up from Grainger that I run while I am catching shad and I can see clearly to the bottom of the tank. I also have noticed in Port A the guides are starting to use them too.Anyone else out there having good results with oxygen?

where can get these tanks? sound alot better then the pumps

hey possum, check out the classified section above. you can set up an oxygen system for about $130.

I just called and they are out.
Maybe next time.

mstewart-check classified section for game plan B.

You not only need the tank but you also need a regulator and and a good diffuser.I bought my system from oxygen edge and it came with all you need plus a trans pipe for filling from a weldining tank. It was expensive but I wanted it and has worked well for me. Port Aransas Outfitters sells diffusers like the one I have. What I like about them is they put out VERY small bubbles. You also must filter the water some how. I filter the water with the same pump that I drain the tank with and only for maybe 30 minutes per day with small bag filters from Grainger. I dont have the part # for the filters or the holder for it but will be glad to post them as I need to stock up on them. Let me know And I will post them. Oh well quail season ended with a bang last weekend so bring on the CC hybrids!!!!!!!!!

is it a wooden diffuser for saltwater use? i've been told aquarium stones will get stopped up with saltwater. how much are they?

BIRD DOG.

I AM 90% POSITIVE THAT I HAVE SEEN YOU AT CC AND TALKED TO YOU.

YOU HAVE A BLUEWAVE RIGHT? I HAVE THE SEAPRO WITH THE T-TOP ON IT.

I AM GOING TO FISH CC WITH SHAD A FEW MORE TIMES THIS YEAR MYSELF

Yes that is me in the bluewave. The hybrid fishing was great last year up until July 4th with shad and that is about all I do.I look forward to this year too. I think I will give trolling more of a chance when the shad bite slows down. In regards to a diffuser stone the one I have is about the size of a Coors can with a brass nipple.In the instructions they say to rinse with water and let dry out with oxygen on until dry when you are done with it.I also clean it up every three weeks with emory cloth while the oxygen is runninig and whith rinse water running over it.The reason you want to let it dry out with the oxygen on is so that when you turn it off it has a tendency to suck back the water into the stone and that is what plugs them up. The stone I have is VERY smooth and puts out lots of VERY small bubbles that are hard to see. I think that is the key to a successful system.

Hey, How do you get rid of the green horn thing? I think I can catch fish just about anytime I want to.

you have to tell the forum your best fishing spots, or make four more posts-it takes twenty- you have 16 now. do you have port a. outfitters number so i can order one of their difusers? how much are they?

Sorry I dont have the # for them. I saw that they had them when I was there last year.You could also check with aquarium supply stores.I will be glad to take a digital photo of my stone and shoot it to you so you will know what to look for.
