Thanks for the video Rocky. I've been thinking I need to rig up a pump and hose like that - very helpful to see your solution. Best wishes for your channel!
Rocky, I have a 14 foot boat and Dock I fish off! Please let me know about a bait cooler for Bait! Would love to purchase one from you! Thanks again! Mac McGee in GLOUCESTER, VA.

Emptying your catch in a tote has the additional benefit of allowing the fish to void themselves preventing that waste from getting in the bait tank. Gizzard shad in particular excrete a huge amount of waste when they are first dropped in a tote. I used to carry a sump pump and 75' of drinking water hose so that in the summer I could start with cold water from the lake. A pyramid weight and some screening on the end would get the hose to where the water was about 60 degrees when the surface temp was 90. I also froze several gallon ziplock bags that I kept in a large cooler to use to keep the bait tank water cool without adding chlorinated water from melting ice. Plus it saves a lot of money buying ice.
Thanks David I appreciate all the info in your comment. Those gizzard shad are messy to deal with. Thanks for your comment and thank you for watching 🎣🎣
I have a ranger just like yours and fixing to get an extreme bait tank. I was wondering if you'd stay with 12 gal to save room or would you step up to the 20 gal? Great video i really enjoy watching them.
I’m very pleased with my 12 gallon tank.It fits perfect in the floor of the my boat so I don’t have to sit it on the deck, where it would be in my way. A 20 gallon is going to weigh a lot more also. You could put a little more bait in a 20 but haven’t had any issues with my 12 gallon it’ll hold enough bait for me. Thanks for watching my videos and thanks for your comment 🎣🎣
Rocky Love your videos from Mount Airy NC, Mayberry home of Andy Griffith! Rocky do you ever use the Shad Keeper granular blue powder to help keep your bait alive longer and more frisky? Thanks for your time.
Hello John, Thanks for your comment! I have used the Shad Keeper and it work really well 🎣 Sometimes I’ll put some in with the salt. I appreciate you watching !🎣

When it’s hot out do you put ice in your bait tank?
I haven’t yet
I do think it would help keep the bait more lively.
Just don’t cool the water in the tank to much
I appreciate your comment 🎣🎣
is the black wall tank necessary vs white wall ones they offer
The black walls are to keep your bait more calm. If you don’t want to spend the extra money on the black the white will work fine. 🎣🎣
@@RockyDrakeOutdoors may have to give it a try - moving to chicamauga in october
Thanks a great place to fish from what I hear 🎣
Big fish 🎣🎣
Did you say that you put salt in the bait tank?
Yes sir
Just a small amount.
It puts enzymes in the water and helps with the slime coat on the bait.
I appreciate you watching!🎣
How much is the live scope
I don’t remember exactly.
I got the cheapest version
and I had some points built up at Cabelas 😀🎣
