Need help with best bait tank idea?
I am trying to figure out the best bait tank to use. I want to make my own because I am one of those DiY guys, but I am open to kits and stuff, too. Any great ideas? Thanks all.

Search on here for bait tanks. I'm on the iPad, otherwise I'd do it for you. Myself and a few others have stood on the shoulders of OEX and copied their design in separate threads. I'm a big DIY'er too. It was a fun build! Good luck and let us know how you do.

Same kind of tank here, except I used the larger kibble vault from Costco, and went with the Australian method of a no-battery manual pump. I put in two tank level drains - I use the half full one for the bait tank, and use the high level one for the bay bass tournaments for weigh & release. I really like the whale pump - so long as you remember to give it a few pumps every 10-15 minutes the fish keep fine. It also doubles as a very effective bildge pump for the hull should it be needed. I think only the PA's have enough deck space for it though...

Build your own. Look at everyone else's ideas and come up with a better one.

Knowing the size of your tank well will tell you if the container will work. Of course the basic you have the basic 5 gallon bucket that you can setup also. One that I have also made was a cooler from Walmart. Let us know what Kayak you have so we can better suggest.
