I built a bait tank out of a tote. I am now having trouble keeping it clear. Its looks like PEA SOUP. Any ideas how to correct this?
The only thing that comes to mind is if it's getting a lot of sun and/or you don't have a UV filter it's probably algae
Whys that car so dirty?
BC my buddies won't come and wash it!!
Hey might be a stupid question I have similar setup and it is hard to net all the shad because I got a 550 gallon tank and there going crazy.. do you just net them or do you have any tips or tricks to get them all out
Thanks for the question. I have 2 pretty large nets and I'll chase them one way with one and then scoop from the other direction.
How do you keep the water cool enough for them to survive in summer?
I have not added any cooling. But I also do not keep much bait in the dead of summer. Otherwise it seems with it being shaded and sitting on concrete that it stays cool enough when i use it
Thanks for the video! I love seeing how other people do their stuff it helps me tweak my own tanks
You're welcome I hope it helps you in some way. I also hope the other guy explains his algae comment.
@Skunk Off Tackle Co Yeah I'd like to know as well about that good ol tank algae
How long will they last in summer weather
Id say a month or so. Things are definitely a lot harder in the warmer weather. Like I do not load it down as much. Try to just get enough for a couple of trips. The fact that my tank sits directly on concrete and adding the insulation seemed to help a lot as it stays fairly cool even without a chiller.
👍
Do you by chance have a 20 gallon (or close) bait tank for sale?
No bud I do not. My normal boat tank is a 30 gal Super Bait Tank II or my 100gal homemade tank
@@skunkofftackle just had to ask.. thanks again
1 thing I'd suggest is slow down the current. Current makes bait have to swim non stop and takes it toll on them. You will have more dead bait or weak bait seeing as they need to swim 24 hours a day
I didn't slow down per say but I changed the angle it pushes at which creates less current
The algae helps more than you realize...
I appreciate the comment but could you explain why you say that?
Explain yourself please. Why is algae good for a bait tank?
How long can you keep gizzard shad? And can you keep Alewifes?
I can probably keep gizzards for a couple months at least this time of year. But we normally use them /restock before I run out of they die off. I have no tried to keep alewifes as we typically use them in warm weather here and I do not have a chiller on my tank. I'm very confident I could keep them now if I wanted
Nice set up!
Thank you works very well
@@yotasteve no problem!
Nice set up. I like your filtration you have set up
Thank you it works well
Have you ever used rain water if so do you add salt or anything to it?
I have not tried it. I considered it but with the lake being close it's really easy for me to top off. I do not put salt in my tank because I keep bluegill and trout sometimes and they seem to be sensitive to the salt.
Very cool appericate the video
Thanks I hope it helped
Good informative video.
Glad you think so!
What do you have in the boat
I have a 30 gal Super Bait Tank II most of the time. I have a homemade 100gallon I use when I'm going on a bait trip.
