Would love to make one but some of the new rules in Vermont you have to get your minnows from a bait shop!!!!!!!!!!!! even if you can prove you got them from the lake your fishing in. Gonna be fighting this one I'll be d***** if I'm gonna spend $3-4 on a cup of minnows when I can take my umbrella net at the dock and get them for nothing.

Rick,
Even though I don't plan at this time to make one of these, I think it's a nice thing for you to have taken the time to re-post and share something that a lot of folks are interested in. You can tell that you've spent a lot of time putting it together and thinking it out. The step by step pictures and response to those interested is admirable. Just wanted you to know, this ole lady thinks you did good!

The writing on the hand was there as this pic was taken the day before crappiemasters and I had made a few notes for some of the things I needed to get/remember.
Hoy Vonna thanks for the compliment. I make mistakes too, sometimes put my foot in my mouth but I'll make up fer it one of these days.
MORE INFO COMING EVERYONE. Gotta get home to take the pics and then we'll get back to bidness.

Thanks for reposting,I went out and got a barrel and looked for a pump. I could not find any like the one you have what kind of pump is it. I looked at Lowes for bird fountain pumps and sump pumps but none matched.

ok...the pump is a VERSA GOLD SERIES 325 (I have a 325A with the 3/4 inch threads) model for medium pounds. It's 300 gph (I thought it was 900) but still moves a lot of h2o. I found some on a garden website but it's pricy. Check on ebay or some other place for this model OR the 535 has the 3/4" fitting.
Here's a link for the pump but they are over priced here. I got mine from my neighbor for free so I had no idea they were $80.

Here's some more pics of how I put it together. The pic with the minnows left in the tank is what happens after you fish a crappie masters tourney. Your stock takes a BIG HIT as you can see from pics 3 days ago.
NO GLUE USED IN THIS PROCESS so you can take it apart easily to clean out the batting. Placing everything on the INTAKE sucks the parts together VERSUS on the OUFLOW all the parts want to be pushed apart.

ASK QUESTIONS PLEASE. 2 more pics. If you want me to take any specific pics just ask.
I just figured out the 300 gph (gallon per hour) pump is turning my 50 gal tank over ever 10 minutes. WOW
