DIY Inexpensive Floating Live Bait And Chum Bucket

[@chrisz.9974]

I plan to drill holes on about 1/4 or 1/3 to keep water in so the bait don’t stress as much and can swim while I’m picking them.

[@jerryfletcher2384]

Great video. I made one with slight variations. First I remove the handle and place the rope through the holes because I’m lifting the bucket up from my 25ft pier. Then I only put holes 3/4 the way down the side and none on the bottom so it would hold water when taking it out of the ocean. Turned out awesome! Thanks

Thanks Jerry. Nice ideas.

[@nickj1968]

Thanks for the tips. My model has no holes for the bottom 10cm (4 inches) so it retains a little water when I have it in the boat for a few minutes.

[@Aksmaniyak]

Glad to help.

How many shrimp can survive for 2 days in this size bucket? I'm guessing 5 or 6 dozen?

Like the video. Can you tell me what size drill bit you used? TY

[@Aksmaniyak]

Thanks. I used a 1/4 inch bit but that is not really too important.

Nice floating live bait bucket.

[@Aksmaniyak]

Thanks Wayn.

[@kafkapie]

any idea on how much weight this could carry? Thanks!

[@Aksmaniyak]

Good question. I never tried to max out the weight.

[@novasweat4432]

Awesome video sir and quality work. What did you use to ream the holes?

[@Aksmaniyak]

Thanks! I used an electric hand drill and 1/4 inch bit. It took a while to do it.

[@raffaeleromano4487]

I want to do that too!!!!!

[@fishmandad588]

Hi can you tell me where did you get the top fro for the bait bucket

[@Aksmaniyak]

Hi, It's all from Home Depot in the paint department.

[@charlesrandall6610]

How long does the bait stay alive

[@Aksmaniyak]

It depends on the bait. It works like other bait buckets.

[@bebo21072]

We're does a man inquire a bucket with that kind of lid. Great video sir 👍👍👍

[@Aksmaniyak]

Thanks. I bought it at Home Depot.

[@chrisnewman5751]

Nice, I'm gonna do the same to my bucket but cutting a hole in a bodyboard as my float to create less drag pulling it behind my fishing tube!

[@Aksmaniyak]

Thanks Chris. I just toss this off the dock or shore. You are right, too much drag to pull it behind.

[@josephmcgee8450]

Where did you purchase the top?

[@Aksmaniyak]

I bought the bucket and top in the paint department of Home Depot.

[@bigalcervantes5118]

Great video, where did you get the lid my friend. Al

[@Aksmaniyak]

Thanks Al. I bought all the bucket parts at Home Depot.

[@TechnoMulen]

in smaller scale you can put fish leftovers into a sock.

[@Aksmaniyak]

Very true.

[@mobidrewes680]
