I am going to build a 8" deep bait tank to go in the area in front of the console that can also be used as a step up to the casting deck.
I just had an idea for those of you who have a front well that you use for bait. A trip to the sheet metal shop could have an insert made of perforated aluminum that would not interfere with the lid, and cut down on the minnows track space. The recirculation of the well would keep their water fresh, and the lift out feature would make it simpler at the end of the day. Food for thought.
thats a great ideaQuote:

She found out she likes doing it and she's pretty good at it too! So now most of the time I just sit in back and fish and after a while say "Honey..lets fish over there". So I'm the guy in back who takes her fish off and puts them in the livewell. I can say from experience that being the designated fish puter awayer ain't all that bad when you're being chauffeured around like a king!
I'm afraid to leave the lid open. The crappie I catch are so big I'm concerned they'll escape the livewell knock me into the water and take over the ship.rotflQuote:
