    Good build! You can get a battery or 12 volt filter. Make sure to use chlorine remover too if you have city water

      I do need to get a smaller battery. I've been using a regular cranking battery and it's too heavy to deal with

    Would putting a micron filter work inline with the pump? That would eliminate the the filter problem

      I never thought of trying that. That might help a lot. The filter at the bottom is always getting clogged.

    How is insulation on the tank on the hot days?

    • @gillikinsisland
      @gillikinsisland  Рік тому +1

      There is none. Most of the time when I'm catching shad the water temperature is in the high 80's or low 90's. As long as the water is circulating it seems to work. I fill it up with tap water from the house before I go so it's a little cooler. My biggest issue to putting too many shad in the tank......can't help myself sometime.

      @gillikinsisland  Рік тому +1

      @Fishing Is Therapy If I had to guess, I'd say 4 or 5 dozen. As long as you have a good filter, you'll be in good shape. I sure tried everything until I finally got it right.

      It works great! I might suggest a smaller tank. It's pretty heavy and sometimes difficult to dump the water after you're done. I normally bring a smaller bucket to dump the water after I'm done fishing.
