livewell stank
My hobie livewell has been getting used quite a bit and for the most part ive been using alot of anchovies. I rinse it very well after every use including pulling the pump cartridge out and checking for debris. It still smells luke dead fish. I store my gear inside but cant figure out how to beat the stank. Is there some way to deodorize the tank that won't transfer odd chemical odors to my bait when I use it?

You may have a dead anchovy that crept its way into either the motor/pump or behind it. So give it a looksie around.
I recently had two little guys decomposing in my livewell and one in my bilge-pump (got sucked up when I attempted to drain the live-well). Stunk up the garage pretty good, but once cleared no more stink! |

I'm the opposite. If it don't smell like fish I'm not fishing

Doesn't that just had to the seasoning of the bait?

I lost a squid in my hobie tank. Real nasty. I give the tank a more thorough wash and inspection now. Mike
