Oxygen for minnows

[Cpainter87]

I have a few questions for those of you who use oxygen for your minnows. Where do you mount your tanks? How do you store them in your boat when in use? Pictures would be extremely helpful! Any advice you would give to a first time user?

I believe I'm going to mount under the passengers console as well. What are you using for your bait? Well or something like an Engle?

yep ,have the 30qt engle.when i first got my oxygen setup i wire tied the bottle to a milk crate and carried it in a buddys boat.We planed to try it out on fish if we had a problem keeping them alive ,but the minnows started to die first so i threw the stone in my engle and turned the regulator on low for awhile and the minnows were fine after that.

I also have an Engle 30. I have yet to test it. Tonight I vent help but wonder how air tight those Engles are. Have you left yours in the cooler with the lid latched? I wonder how much co2 would build up in there.

i always leave my engle top cracked open when not traveling to let it vent.What type mount are u gonna use on your bottle,i made mine at work.will try to get some pics.

I plan on using this under the passengers side console. Hopefully someone can chime in on how long they have pumped bait oxygen and left the lid sealed.
