And why trap so early? It only takes one night to trap enough bait for the season.
I usually wait till my bait pond is frozen over. And why trap so early? It only takes one night to trap enough bait for the season.
1000 fish in one night??? I need to find a spot like that !!1
what do u guys use to hold your bait?
I use two 55 gal drums with pond pumps putting water through a 5 gal pail full of sand,bio balls and polly fill which in turn waterfalls down in my tanks.My garage is insulated but I keep the heat off.
how much bait do you keep in them?
A LOT!!(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)
any one cheeping there bait in a non heated area? I have a un insulated / un heated garage any thoughts on how I could cheap bait in there any container that would hold water that was already insulated?
I use a 64 qt cooler with an airator. I add a pinch of rock salt and change the water once a week. Had bait all winter.
i keep mine in my garage all winter alls i do is keep it in a 55 gallon drum on its side then i make a box around it from 2 inch foam board then put a reflective board over the top with a light shining in i never had a freeze up all winter
I've used this setup for a few years. Usually works pretty good but I ended up having to change the water out every couple days. I got tired of that so I bought a 50 gal storage tote with an aquarium filter for this years setup. should work pretty well.
Smart Man pikeslammer. I had the same set-up last year minus the box...frozen pump hoses=no filtration or aeration= 1 giant 55 gallon dead fish popsicle.
did you have any problems with the tote being to flimsy?
