Does wind chill really effect freezing ?🎤
OK Weekend project almost complete. built frame around stock tank. this is under the porch. Used 2" foam insulation. Also constructed an insulated cover. Used bathroom plastic sheeting for wind break all around and top. 294 GPH pump and a filter. currently just have a hose breaking the surface of the water. I was thinking of adding a spray bar vs having to use a separate air pump. I saw on Utube where someone inserted a 1/4" hose to the output hose that created tiny air bubbles. tried that - no tiny air bubbles. thoughts?
You don't need a working one. I get mine off the dump here is how I do it stays right outside never freezes.(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)This is the old way I used to do it works great for cheap and I kept 500 in this.(Image removed from quote.)
I try and get my bait the day before I plan to go. I keep it in an insulated bait bucket in the garage on an air bubbler.That said there are quite a few guys here in Ct. that get a lot of satisfaction trapping there bait and building bait tanks, with the reward of not having to get to the shop before they close. We also have places that sell bait by the pound and guys will get ten pounds or so to have bait on hand.Do a search of bait tanks. pretty impressive.
mainewoodsballer - what size pump you using?
