The guy I met at the oex store in mission beach told me this was a welcoming group of salty fisherman so far the comments have been funny but hurtful.

Beautiful town, cultured people in Hillcrest.....Subjective!

Your pseudo-homo inuendos (like your monkier) say otherwise!!

I can be welcoming, but you have to understand that there is a certain dynamic that takes place in forums. And if you have been "lurking" for a while, then you failed to understand the "culture" that takes place in BWE.

so yeah...

back on topic. You could use anything for a bait tank / live well. Its a project with in itself. You could make your own bait tank. What some guys do or just.
But know that when building learn from others mistakes.

What type of pump your getting, battery type, life of the battery, tube length, strapping it down to kayak, additional rod holder, wiring the battery to the the pump tank and switch. Much comes into play.

And instead of dragging a bucket around you have it on you. So you don't get caught on anything. Your line, and would never make it in the kelp beds.

is a bait tank over kill?

do you really need a mobile phone? why not just find a pay phone when you want to make a call? or just check your messages when you get home on your home answering machine?

so a bait tank is like a mobile phone, we all have them for convenience and to a degree has become a necessity. your question is why not just drop a bucket every once in while? i think you can answer that for yourself, but for the most of us here we rather have that little bit of comfort and luxury of not having to drop that bucket over the side "every once in awhile".

A bait tank comes in handy in so many ways depending on how you fish .
I usually bring my Bait tank out most of the time especially while fishing for halibut ....It's nice to have . When not in use , It serves well as rod holders and it works as a ice chest for my cold drinks
I use them all depending on where , and what I'm fishing for .... I prefer the bait tube over the bucket because it' doesn't slow you down while paddling , The bait bucket will work, But I find it more of a hassle to deal with.

But the bucket obviously doubles as an awesome pillow!
