wow must be a heck of a bait tank lol....im in process of building one now if i can ever get it to stop raining here long enough

i use an old chest type freezer with peinguin filters from the pet shop and 3 of the biggest areators walmart sells with bubble wands on them and for water flow i use two of their biggest powerheads i moved up from the small freezer to the big ones so i had to upgrade a lil lol

by the way trip was put off my hooks didnt come in till today i was plenty mad

That is one heck of a setup, to keep bait that long is a gift

the main thing is temprature if you can keep it down your good and with my building having concrete floors it helps alot and the freezer dosent work but the insulation in it helps also and the best thing is they are usually free or really cheap i have got all mine at a local recycling place for 5 dollars each

in the summer i freeze 2 litre and 20 oz pop bottles filled with water in the good freezer i keep shad and chum in and and put a new bottle in ever day to help keep the water temp low and when i go to put another in i take the old one out and put it in the freezer and just keep repeating the cycle
