My little bait setup (pic fixed)

[Skidda]

So this is what I set up this morning.

I brought my wife downstairs and she looked at it with total disgust, I asked what was wrong and she asked if I knew the definition of a redneck.

Oh well should save me some bucks!

So I might be a redneck if I used a cooler for bait storage. Well I guess my neck is red then. I have a similar set-up in my bsement.

I thought I was being pretty creative as I spliced in a second air stone as well. I guess she just don't get it.

I know she'll understand it if you drill a hole the size of the hose through the top, then run the hose down through, won't crimp the hose that way and then it becomes your permanent cooler!

looks fine to me!

i'd be happy with that

That is good advice! I hadn't thought of that one. Thanks

This is a great idea .. what temp. do you have to keep the water at??

[Boston5]

nice job what was that a 5 min job

[MGK]

Looks like my bait setup. I do the same thing. How often do you change the water out?

Right now its trial and error. It is in the coolest part of my basement so we will see.

I figured I would check them tomorrow or give them a couple days. There are only a couple dozen in there right now.

Good job skidda!  My son swamp donkey 50 is in the process of building one right now.  we'll probably have pictures and flowing water by tomorrow night.

You need some more bait!

Well I guess I am in the same boat, it must be a Durham Boys thing

[windflag77]

no it's not a Gorham boys thing because i have the same setup too. Mine is in my unheated garage and it froze over last week. All my smelts died and a quarter of my shiners did throughout the week. I am still working the kinks out but i like your idea of double the bubbles. I have to get something to treat the water (well water) and possibly change it out.

Women just don't understand sometimes.   I've done that same thing before, last year thats how I transported my bait up to the fish for a cure tourney.  I had about 3doz xlarge shiners 4-6", and about 10 doz med-lgs 2-3" in a cooler about the same size.  Made the 1.5hr road trip and lasted the whole day and back home that way.  Great way to keep the water a more even temp.   She may of rather you had put them in the 5gal buckets next to the cooler, she thinking that next time you guys use the cooler her sandwich meat is gonna taste like a bait bucket.

I just built a bait tank today. I will post some pictures of it tomorrow, I am only about a quarter done building it.

I use a cooler too
