Does your lid leak a ton of water when it sloshes

Great job! Well thought through.

Great day on the lake

Good job

I like that boat looking for something like it I can store in my garage and thanks for the bait tank video Subscribed and making one this week

Looks great. Are the corners round enough so bait don't bunch up. Have you used it for shad?

Great video! Thank you

Great build! Glad you built the filter. I’d add a small bag of activated charcoal with zeolite in your filter also.

Nice build!

Cool setup. Thinking about building one. Did you have any problems keeping herring alive in it? I would only need them alive for around 5 hours or so.

It works better with a round tank with water moving clockwise or counterclockwise. Bait fish,especially freshwater shad live much longer. I've seen many a shad push into a cornered and drowned.

I have a 35 Gallon Super Bait Tank($900 to boot that is)which is too bulky and gets in the way on my 11 passenger 2150 Center Console Tahoe boat. The boat comes with a standard maybe 10-gallon bait tank, of course, no filtration system. How would anyone suggest or has anyone done some similar modification to the conventional customary bait tank that is incapable of holding herring or gizzard chad? Ugh...BTW, took it up to Bass Pro Shop while installing Active target and brought it along with Super Bait Tank II and asked that they use it as a key to designing something whereas they don't have to drill into the boat that would be sufficient in holding Striper live bait? They got back to me and said "nope, don't give a sh*^, gonna be better for you to just take the tank when you need it and take it out when you don't." I say BS, I know something can be done, the worst-case scenario is I have two coolers that came with the boat, one big one (maybe 35 gallons) under the captain seat that I cannot use for this purpose(gotta have a place to keep the "Koolaid" cold), the other one is located right behind me under the passenger seat in the middle of the stern, unfortunately, you have to lift the seat that is designed for three asses and not one seat per passenger to sit on rather than one which makes is quit daunting to do over and over again. .

Been using this for about 3 years now just a few months after you posted this. Been a hell of a tank

Did you use the 4253 kit for this build? Love the build

Why dont you just get a tube to connect it to where the water flows out from inside the cooler?

That filter system is slicker than cum on a gold tooth.

Just built one following you build. Put a “Y” adaptor in mine. So no blow. Works GREAT! Thanks for the video!

Put a tee with a valve in the blow/drain tube then u won’t have to keep unhooking it.😎

Cool compact build.. Do you have a link for the led light?

What’s the blue light for

dude sick, im going to make one for walleye fishing

That was brilliant and a great step adding the filter and tehn also using the pump to empty the cooler. First time seeing it like this so thank you for the smarts!

Put a two way tap on it

Nice video! This project looks like it was a lot of fun for everyone!

Great job Jason! I have been craving some of those since I left Kauaii Hawaii. Seems like all the convenience stores had them made with spam right by the cash register. Good to know now what they are called. Now I'm hungry!

Great job with the DIY bait tank. I hit that red button and shared it to the FB page #getoutthehousegofish

Jason do you have a parts list and where to buy. With A hookup diagram?

I enjoyed the video. What was the board on your line?

i know this video is old , but i would put a directional Y adapter on that hose fitting u keep taking off. put a flex hose on the new 2nd output, that way u just toggle the y adapter to drain instead of having to take it apart and put it back together again, also u could use it as ur priming hose, and prob not have to cut power ,

Hey Jason, where did you get the fittings to fit through the cooler, the top one. Thank you, great idea for a bait tank.

Nice day on the lake. I will see you all soon Jimmy

What's the trick to get it primed? I bought one and it doesn't want to pick up the water

Love the effort brother but way too much work. I built a similar bait well / live well (30 gallons) that self fills and drains by the flip of a switch

Could just take the hose off the back and tilt the cooler back with the hose on the floor. The weight of the water will drain itself out, or should unless I'm wrong.

Awesome! I looked up Lake Hiwassee and there was Cathy. Miss youns. Be there on the 5th.

Sweet. Best diy bait tank I've seen. Thanks for the share

idk why but when he started blowing on that i died laughing. great video.

Great idea. I think I will steal your idea.

nice

Super Genius !!

Wow Jason this is super helpful I striper fish out of a 18' XPRESS bass boat and u just made my day thank you again.

Does the LED light have to be blue?

I have the same setup on same ice chest with a "T" and a valve to drain the water. I also have a pressure switch so my light only turns on when I open the lid. I will definitely be adding your filter setup though. Thanks

One other thing; About 20 years ago I met a company that specializes in fluid dynamics. They make an industrial battery watering system that I have sold and installed on my customers forklift batteries. They make aerators for livewells . That at are factory installed bvy every bass boat manufacturer in the country. I'm going to use one of their retro kits and see how it does. It REALLY does well and generates a lot of O2 for the fishes.

I have watched a BUNCH of videos where guys are making bait tanks and NONE of them could solve my issue which is a filter until you!! Herring need one badly to stay alive. Thanks for showing me the way to do it. Now I don't have to give $500 to my bait store for an overpriced tank!! The ONLY thing I might do differently is to possibly use an extra large Gatorade cooler as it's round and those basterds like swimming in circles but that is it!! Great job and thanks again.

Great looking tank on mine I would put a T and valves in that clear line so wouldn’t have to pull that off all the time

Did you use wire nuts to connect the pump, light and power source all together or did you have to use a resistor for the LED light?

I know this video is an older one, but I was wondering what kind of light you used?

Thank you for sharing a great idea! What did you use for the gasket at the tsunami pump inlet?
