    Default What's old is new again!


    Have been trying to decide about a larger baittank for a while. Been using a bucket with air stone and this works great, but needed something to transport bait and possibly something that would hold minnows for a longer period of time. Anyway, went down to our place at the beach and was rumaging around in shed and found my old shrimp bait cooler and it hit like a ton of bricks. This old thing I used years ago for holding shrimp for flounder fishing would be perfect. Did some googling about it and found one old advertisement in a Field & Stream mag from years ago. Was wondering if any of you guys maybe had one and if it works for you please share.
    Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.

    That should work for holding your minnows. Good size cooler and its always good to reuse older things.

    That will work just fine, I would though try to turn spray bar more towards back of cooler so as not to beat up minnows to bad. And if I was going to store them at the house I'd buy a cheap aquarium air pump and drop stone in there. Best thing about it is the price.

    Should work real well. I'd also turn the spray bar.
