Home Forums Fishing Freshwater Getting the itch.......

Ryan-will you do one of those drop-in livewell tanks and go from there, or just rig up a cooler with a portable pump system?

We've been slaying the bass all this month. Between my wife, the boy, and myself we've landed 5 over 6 pounds in the last two weeks. Probably 6-7 more over 4 pounds.

I have a video I took with my iPhone of my 2 year old reeling in a solid 8 pounder. Dad casted the rod for him but he did the rest all by himself. It's been fun as heck watching him catch 10-20 bass a day. He has graduated from his kiddie pole, now all he'll use is one of my baitcasters. Pretty cute to watch a little tiny kid catching fish on a 7' rod.

I'm going to use a heavy duty tote from menards and get the fittings and pump from amazon. I found a video on youtube here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnWAz-2APAY
I'm not doing the recirc part of it, and I'll have it drain out the back of the boat below the waterline.

Colorado: I would be careful about Menards plastic containers. I have had a few and they were completely destroyed by UV in a few short years. Some were Rubber Maid.
