I am in the process of building a live baitwell...getting ready for that live bait bassin this year!! I cant afford one of the NICE well built ones so I am having to make my own. I am using a round 20 gallon tank and 500 gph pump. I will have valves on it so you can either recirculate the water already in the tank...or pump lake water in and out. I figure that way the water will stay fresh and cool ( whatever lake surface temp is) and eliminate most of the ammonia the fish produce. I will power it with a deep cycle 12 volt battery. I have 5/8 hoses that I can throw over the side of the boat ( this will also make it portable from boat to boat or use on the bank ) .One hose is the intake ( with a filter ) and the other the discharge hose ( also with a screen to keep the bait from escaping out the discharge hose.) I will post pics of it when I get it completed...probably tommorow. I cant wait to try out. Now all I gotta do is learn how to throw a cast net!!!emoParty Chime in if you have done this before or have any good ideas to add !!!emoPlease
