Clearly there are many ways fishermen can use pure oxygen systems, especially if your are a tournament fisherman fishing to win the money in summer tournaments. Especially when you know exactly where the tournament fish are all stack up.

Bet this oasis of dissolved oxygen is a tournament fisherman’s dream, tournament fish, bait fish and everything that lives under the water is looking for more oxygen in the summer will come here.

Clarks Hill Stripers Finding A More Oxygen-Rich Thermocline A new oxygen system on Clarks Hill is making for better striper water. By Don Baldwin on July 31, 2013 http://www.gon.com/fishing/clarks-hill-stripers-finding-a-more-oxygen-rich-thermocline

“While the water at that depth is the ideal temperature for the big stripers, oxygen levels have posed a problem in the past,” said Mark. “This condition has been helped considerably by the addition of an oxygen-supply system that was installed in the lake in 2011 (see sidebar on page 33).”

“Clark Hill’s Oxygenation System Helping Stripers During the summer, oxygen gas is supplied to these lines, and the oxygen is released along the length of the lines through small openings. The oxygen tubes are placed upstream of the dam to allow for a longer stretch of improved oxygen levels as the current moves downstream.”

Di you know that before 2000 they were also chumming tournament fish the same way with oxygen on a smaller scale for tournament fishing, http://oxyedge-chum.com/oxy-chum/ Tournament officials had no clue about the Edge these guys had created for summer tournament wins. The science of chumming fish with “oxy-chum” http://oxyedge-chum.com/oxy-chum/92-2/ and finally tips about chumming fish with pure oxygen http://oxyedge-chum.com/oxy-chum/oxy-chum/ .

Looks like tournament fishermen may have been chumming tournament fish with pure oxygen 16 years ago on the sly. I’d bet this was top-secret tournament tactics for sure. The CORP of Engineers started chumming stripers with pure oxygen and huge multimillion dollar pure oxygen systems 5 years ago.

Would bubbling pure oxygen underwater do the same thing in the north country in late winter when the water surface has been frozen for months and the dissolved oxygen under the ice is depleted?

Any thoughts or actually experience using this oxy-chumming tactic for tournament fishing? There are no rules prohibiting chumming tournament fish with oxygen, at lease there are none today.

So what do you tournament fishermen think about a summer tournament edge like this for any kind of fishing tournament?

Do you think chumming tournament fish with oxygen would be within your ethics? This would never be ask on a lie-detector test even if the prize was $50,000 and chumming tournament fish with oxygen would be considered silly by most tournament officials.

Mashed potatoes, prime rib, hot apple pie with home made ice cream, just food for thought for the serious tournament fisherman?
It's fun to think out-of-the-box and what if it really works.
