Good video. 100% agree with the advice on NO hardware inside the tank itself.
On the insulation issue - take the tank to a truck bed spray liner company (LineX, Rhino, Vortex, etc.). Believe it or not, it's a great insulator. I had a Vortex machine and made my own ice chest out of it to test their claims. I would think maybe $100 to spray it 1/4" thick. Might even be less as it would probably only take them 30-40 minutes if they did it in conjunction with another project.
Great info. I’ve thought about spraying on inside of it. There is a small area between outer wall and inside tank, but I haven’t looked into insulation that won’t mildew when when.
Great video. But I would not use Shad keeper or bait saver. Just straight salt. And I upgraded my old super with a Venturi. The air is important. ESP for me. I catch it on Friday and keep it till Monday most weeks. One thing I do is I run my air line into a cooler and let it suck the cold air from the cooler it will drop your tank temp at times. Nothing crazy. But it will help cool it
Great info. Thanks for sharing.
@@BooneBoys my first tank was a sun shine. Before they I assume merged with greyline. I now have a 20 30 50 sbt 2. A 30 Shad shack and 30 creek bank. You hit a lot of good points tho. I always tell people get the biggest tank your boat can handle. I hope to soon have a 75 Mel’s.
@@xdfisher now your my kind of guy! All those tanks. Man. I thought I would like a smaller tank for a quick couple hour trip, but once you get used to a larger tank those smaller ones are hard to like. I’m going to check out that 75 gallon tank, ha but I may need a 350hp motor to get on plane.
Good video. I live on Lake Hartwell SC where we all use SBT II tanks religiously as they are built in our area and basically rule. One piece of info in the video about the SBT II is incorrect. It has bouble walls with air as an insulator. NO WATER makes its way between the walls unless you have a leak from the inside. I should mention that the gray line has foam insulation between the walls.
Thanks for info. Not sure which tank year you have, but water goes around the sides of interior tank on this tank. It’s over 20 years old. Maybe 25.
Very nice! Great tank
It’s pretty simple and has been a good one for us.
Great video! You brought up a lot of good points for me to consider. I bought a creek bank tank that has a lot of the same features as yours and I feel like it was the best option for me without spending tons of money. It came with an extra pump that I use to pump in and out and it’s nice to have in case the one goes for whatever reason. I would like to see a video of how you catch your bait. The lakes I fish I find the bait a little deeper but it seems like if they are deeper than 15 feet they just swim away from my net (watching live scope).
I’ve seen the creek bait tank online. I’ll try and get out a lot more Cast net videos and bait videos in the future.
I just found your video of the Black Pearl 1.9 lbs per foot video. I am going to give it a shot!
@@bradleydodrill4820 ha ha. You must be a big ol boy because that net is more than I can handle now. Probably need to work out some more then pull it back out.
Dang James, I guess I'm going to have to dump some more cash on a bait tank.
I've been fighting it, but my fishing buddy went out last week. We marked a bunch of fish that I bleive were Hybrids but we only caught 6 or 7. And only one of them was legal length.
We caught a bunch of White Bass (Sand Bass in your neck of the woods). Mostly males, all the females we caught had under developed eggs. We didn't keep any White Bass under 12".
Lake Somerville was 5 feet low a month ago, it's now over full by almost a foot!
My guess is the big females are still in the creeks!
Charles, You won’t regret a good bait tank! They last a long time and keep bait healthy and lively. Good to hear you got on some sandies. We’ve been busy with life and looking forward to getting back out there soon.
Hey James, good video. I have been contemplating a bait tank in time for Sheila and there’s not a lot of good information on them. Couple questions:
1. Do you fill the tank at home with tap water or just bucket/pump it in on the lake?
2. For the ice and/or tap water what do you use to get the chlorine out?
3. My Ranger has a dedicated baitwell already built in, imagine yours might have a similar tank. Would I even need a dedicated tank that takes up space onboard versus using what the boat already has?
4. With the gallons you listed (25 & 50), roughly how much shad can you keep in each without them dying?
Charles. Good questions. I fill it up at home with well water, but when I don’t have well water I would bucket lake water and add ice. Normally I don’t put chlorine remover with the ice, it’s not enough to matter.
If you use tap water, there is a lot of chlorine remover out there to buy.
A livewell will not work for Shad. They will not be lively and that is key. Most likely they will be dead within an hour but also, if they live they will start getting red noses and lethargic. Many times fish won’t hit a non healthy bait.
We can fit 400-500 normal size Shad for a day trip. For holding them overnight that would be too many unless it was cold weather.
@@BooneBoys appreciate the extra information. About what temperature do you keep the shad around? I was wondering if they ever got temperature shocked going from warm lake water to cool tank water.
Update on my end: was out with Sam on Arcadia lake Saturday evening testing out my new MK Terrova.
Oh. My. Word. Spot lock and jog, just incredible! I’ve never had it on my boat before and wow does it make the experience so much more pleasant than constantly fighting with anchors or a conventional trolling motor or worse, not going at all because I couldn’t fight against that infamous Oklahoma wind.
We were beating riprap looking for crappie, bite is super hot right now according to the locals with the spawn. We caught a few sand bass instead but was still a good time even though we were only out a couple hours. Lakes were way down also, wonder how much they’ll come up with this monsoon we are about to get…
@@Charles_And_Christina_H spot lock is amazing!! It revolutionized fishing. I don’t ever measure water temp of tank, but I’ve put well water, 60 degrees or so, and 25 pounds of ice and never had shock issues in 100 degree temp. I would say nothing below a 30 degree temp change.
Tell Sam hi for me.
@@BooneBoys will do! He’s been super busy doing the A/V stuff at church. He told me today he’s gonna be out turkey hunting tomorrow morning before the rain hits so here’s to hoping he’s successful. Also, best you up your auto insurance. He just got his license a couple weeks ago…
We are both excited about meeting up sometime later in the year again with you and the rest of Clan Boone. Once life settles down for y’all and the fish are past the post spawn funk and established into their summer patterns let’s see what we can make happen.
Fill that second box with poly fill (from the craft section in stores) it’ll change your life
I like that idea.
That's not a 50 gallon tank. You have one of the rare 30 gal rotomolded Super Bait tanks. The 30 was the only one Ron had the molds done for but he went back to welding them after realizing that style wasn't the best. They're a tough tank but have drawbacks. Greylines have 1 thing going for them...they're tough. Stay shaddy!
What size is that grayline?
25 gallon
that's not a 50 gallon sbt and damn that tank is dirty...
Been using it for over 20 years.
@@BooneBoys I've had 5 SBT at one time, I currently have 2 SBT, 1 Creek and 1 Shad Shack, but my OCD will slap me if i had my tank that dirty... don't get me wrong they are good tanks...
