I fished a tournament yesterday and didnt realize until too late that my spray bar was clogged up. I dont have the flush valves to clean the system or a recirc pump. I stuck a hook in the holes and got them open for a little while but they clogged back up. Can I cut the ends of the spray bar off and flush with a water hose from the outside and replace with a shut off valve at the ends in case I needed to do it again? Does the aeration pump have to be on in order to do this? Fishing Louisiana hot water, do I need to see about adding a recirc pump? Thanks
