Small Bait Tank

[cusportsman]

Show me your small homemade bait tanks. 5-10 gallons. This will be for 16’ Jon boat.

A bubble box works surprisingly well for a simple 5 gallon bucket aerator and lid. Mostly depends on the temp and cleanliness of the water and how much of what type of bait will determine how long they last. A buddy plumbed a cooler and it seems to work pretty well. Just need flex tubing and a small aquarium pump pulling freshwater in and another pushing old water out. Generally speaking the more water moving the better off you will be. Could rig something up in minutes.

10 gallon. Pump, charcoal & fiber filters and a air diffuser on the bottom.

I have a larger more expensive tank, but this tank will hold 4 dozen or so and it's a ton easier to handle.

Going to try out one like yours that another member has offered, if for some reason I don’t like it may convert this old Coleman into one.

This is an old 96 quart cooler. I have several of the bubble boxes that I drop in it. I also change the water a couple times a day. I can keep 2 dozen bream live in it for several days.

Cheap cooler with a battery bubbler, spray paint to match your boat.
