todays video is about how to make a bait live well , very cheap and it works great For Fishin N Stuff gear please visit link.below if your looking for something not listed , leave a message www.etsy.com/s...
Dude, I watched this ENTIRE video as I laid in bed here in my Tennessee fish camp waking up this morning. It was a great video in my mind because, while I have no intention of building a live well like that, it kept me captivated with the process. It was well edited and well put together. Let me say this; if you can crank out the content your channel will blow up. Good stuff. Impressed.
Well like I said before Dieter , that's a compliment coming from a editor of your caliber, and I really meant it . Ive been trying to improve the process. I just try and improve every video . I'll be as good as you one day 😁
Great idea, I have a similar system. To keep them alive at home or in the truck I use a drop in aquarium filter. It provides physical filtration as well as a carbon cartridge to remove ammonia build up. I’ve been known to save bait all week for the next fishing trip. I would seal up that hole in your cooler with some silicone. Water gets in there you’ll have a fun time getting it out.
That is a great idea. Going to make one. For those hot days, You can drill about three holes in the inside of the lid and fill it with spray foam. There is no insulation in the lids. Just air space. Will make a difference.
Yeah I seen ppl do that . I just use mine to keep my blue gill alive till I go fishing . Sometimes I go catch some at a small pond near the house then I use em for catfish bait . It also makes a great minnow bucket though
Man, I love your videos! I am a DIYer and enjoy seeing solutions that others have come up with. I actually made one of these, with PVC rod holders, a few years ago. It served as my live well whenever I fished from my plastic pontoon (Bass Hunter) boat. I never considered using it for minnows in my bass boat. It's sitting in the back of my shed. Think it's about time to pull it out again. Thanks for the tip.
On your bubble maker hanging on the side ,get you a piece of velcro to put on the bottom and it won't be loose at all. Enjoying your videos. Lots of great stuff.
Ive made about 4 of those I did that at first and your right it works good , I just stopped because it hardy moves if I make the slit tighter , but I'm glad you brought it up in the comments buddy , and I appreciate you watching , thank you Sir . I love comments by the way sunny other ideas are welcome any time
Great DIY! Since I'm only using it to transport bait from the minnow/perch traps to the trotline, don't need the insulation of the cooler. Instead I used a rectangular cat litter bucket (Tidy Cat brand). It has a hinged lid and one portion opens up to get to the perch and the other side stays secured. I ran the air hose line through the top portion that stays secured and cut a hole for the clip through the side rails that hold the handle. I have two different size buckets: 27lb bucket (11" tall) that I use in my sit-in kayak and 35lb. bucket (15" tall) that I use in my jon boat. Only cost was the Bubble Box. Definitely a cheap build and Wife Approved!
Well, there went my round bait bubble pail, replaced by a better live well and I didn't have to slice open a seat to make a built in one. Thanks for the excellent upgrade idea!

I built one similar to this. I used a picture frame hook you mount on the wall to hang my aerator from. To keep the aerator from flopping around I added some velco industrial strength. It works good.
They do work good , I saw a guy at lake Wylie yesterday he was using one and showed me and laughed lol he was going on about how good it worked , said he had those bluegill in it for 4 days
Cool boxes make great bait wells. We use sand eel as bait here and it is much more lively if the water is cool so an ice pack thrown in keeps that water cool for a long time.👍
Suggestion Hack, bubble box that will work with a portable power supply or with the battery box hack that you made. No more need for D size batteries. I tried it and it works great. The Channel is BIG COUNTRY LIVING. (Best live bait Hack). Thought you might want to include this on your channel. Love you Channel and I have used a few of your Hacks. Great job 👍
Love this video. Been looking at minnow buckets with aerators and have not seen one that meets my quality standards for a decent price. I am going to use this info to make my own. Thanks for sharing!
I'm very grateful for the advice and ideas you present on your channel. Your D.I.Y's have saved me quite a bit of money since I subscribed . Thank you, and "Tight Lines " Brother..!
Thank you very much , and thank you even more for watching . I put a lot of work into em , I just like too help ppl . But comments like this make it totally worth it . You saying that means more than you know
I use a 10 gallon water cooler. Put a thru hull bilge discharge connector in the side up top. And one in the lid. I put a temperature logger in it for a weekend. Started water temp at 72. At end of 95 degree day water temp was only 76. A couple pounds of ice is all it takes to keep it at a safe temp. Just be sure to not drink the water. Also I did try one of them water pump style aerators, that was a no go. They will bring water temp to over 105 over night.
Good one! I was watching this on my laptop and my wife walked up behind me. I acted like I didn't know she was there, but I knew what she was getting ready to say. After a minute, she said, "I guess you're be doing one of those, huh?" I said, "Yeah, I wrote down all the stuff I need to get." She just shook her head and walked off.
Lol sounds just like my wife , she calls me a youtube star haha , I tell her I don't think so . I just enjoy making stuff and youtube videos are making stuff too I guess lol
One of the bigger ones would be awesome on that cool pontoon boat you rebuilt like this one ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IfVxyD1ELqA.html
@@FishinNStuff Just watched it - that is a nice one for sure. Then I got to thinking (uh-oh). I'm wondering if that might be good for keeping all those minnows I bring back home with me; just wondering how to keep them alive for the next fishing trip. I'm wondering if that would work for maintaining minnows for 10-12 days or so. If so, then I would also need to find something to feed them, maybe from the aquarium center at Walmart or the pet store. I know they have fish food for exotic fish, but if I fed "exotic" fish food to minnows, then would they become to "high-on-the-hog" to catch crappie or bass or big bream?
I would ask the ppl that sell em if they feed em and what , also you could put the pump in a plastic bowl with a lid on it and drill holes in it then stuff pillow batting in the box si as it recirculated the water would get filtered as well
Allen Shearman thank you Sir lol , I appreciate that. I've got a video of a 30 gallon live well I made too. If you need something bigger , the pump I used on it's a little different, thank you for watching and commenting brother
Thank you brother , yeah the fishing is picking up here too, one day it's 78 with a low of 55 the next day it's 50 with a low of 38 ,,,,,, North Carolina,,,,,, for ya lol you'll be hammering em before you know it
I agree with ya , but I dont worry about it, mines never leaked I place the hole as high as possible and you never fill the water level that high so it's no big deal , I did seal the first one I made years ago but then I realized the waters never to the lip and that is when I started thinking that way , but again you right buddy , I appreciate you watching and commenting its always great to hear what other ppl think I love constructive criticism brother . If you ever have any ideas you would like to see me try I'll sure try it bud
Should make one that has one of those spin clips/clamps on the top or side. This way when those things spill over or have the water for transport you dont have to worry about leaks or chasing minnows on the deck.
Lol OCD you funny . I did put it on the very first one I made but a stopped after I made a few of em , i found it stayed on better if i made the slit in the back tighter . But that's still a good idea brother i should have added that lol i appreciate your input buddy thank you
Just stick some foam rubber from a pool toy or old flip-flops with double sided tape on the lower portion of the back panel below the clip...it will hold it in place but still be able to take it off easily for battery replacement.
I made the same 🐡👍Live Well it works great but you might want to secure bubbler to the backside of the cooler box with some tape or foam so it won't vibrate because it just might scare the catch Because that's what happened while I was fishing for trout with my kayak
You make the best DYI videos found this channel today subscribed!!! Keep up the good work love the videos and thanks for all the good tips awesome work 👍
Thank you so much, comments like yours makes the hard work worth every minute brother , I appreciate you subscribing and can't thank you enough, if there's something you would like to see in the future just leave your idea in the comments buddy
Awesome video. Something we use a lot and looks to be pretty easy to do. Thanks for the video and sharing. You make your diy’s so they are easily understood. Thanks Keith. -Scott
Hello keiff. And wife i love your videos. Thank you so much. How about crayfish. Have a hard time keeping them. They kill each other. Thank you so much big Hug s
Thank you Sir , I believe velcro will make it solid , I never do it because of hi cut your slit small . It fits really tight , plus I've made so many of em over the years lol . I appreciate brother
Love your DIY ideas great learning experience for me thank you so much for doing these videos much appreciated. Have a safe weekend my friend bless you all🙏🏽mahalo🤝😊
Thank you Sir , I really do appreciate you watch em as well and your comments just inspire me to do better . It means more to me than you realize buddy
Fishin N Stuff I really appreciate that my friend thank you. You inspire me also I get to learn a lot Who know what their doing, not just trying something and hope it works, With you it will work.
This would be good for some blue gill to be used for some giant cats. I got a couple guys that have freshwater local fish tanks. seems like a good idea for transport as well
You exactly right ive used it for transportation on fish for some buddy's and I use it for bluegill for flathead bait , it's great for back fishing and the fishing part at the end my buddy had a pond at his house and wer catch our bait before we go to the lake lol
I have a suggestion Bro, can you make a "how to catch crappie fish" video. With a breakdown of tackle, gear &/or bait. They have crappie all around my local lakes, streams & canals. I'm really interested in learning how to crappie fish. If you do make a video, would be much appreciated 👊👍🎣😎
Great video Bro. You confuse me brotha, don't know whether to do this live well or the 30 gallon one 😁💪. Awesome DIY. Keep'em coming. You left out the sense of humor on this one 😁.
Well I confuse myself lol . , that 30 gallon live well I put a 50lb catfish in it that's what it for basically . Third smaller one is a bait well for your bait . Like minnows or bluegill which I like to use to catch those 50lb catfish with lol . I appreciate you brother
Heck yeah that's awesome man that's great I bet you'll love that , I appreciate you commenting brother . I think im might do A DIY on my kayak box one week
Thank you Sir , it's nice . It's not a super bait tank by no means but it's very portable and that makes it handy . I appreciate you commenting brother it means a lot from ppl of your caliper
I recommend using a one way air valve check that will keep water from siphoning back to the battery pump when it is turned off, runs out of battery juice, or is being switched between pumps. Also, don't trim the hose (I leave mine intentionally long), so it is easier to place the wall outlet pump. And lastly, garage sale or thrift shop an old cooler. There's absolutely no reason to go wasting a new cooler for such a mundane task of keeping bait in.
When applying double sided tape, clean area with alcohol. Press firmly for 90 seconds. Not 10 seconds, not 3 quick presses. Even pressure for 90 seconds.
👍EXCELLENT VIDEO!!!!😯😳 I did that to my cooler ..the exact same one only mine is smaller than 20 gal!!! Brother i was going to post video doing the same thing 😂😂😂😂😂 now i think i better wait cause your video was excellent and better than mine ...put me to shame man 😂😂😂😂😂 back to the drawing board man lol i need to add those robholders to mine IMMEDIATELY!!! Always enjoy your videos for real!!!!!
I always enjoy your videos as well , and I would go ahead and post your video , you'll smoke mine lol you a driving force brother . Beside it just gos to show you great minds think alike lol , thanks for commenting brother they always encourage me
Going to be adding something like this in my DIY boat! This, and the live well. Might make videos on the whole process in case someone else wants to do it or see what I am doing. Any chance on a DIY (trolling) motor? :D
Definitely better than spending all that money they want for those pre-made wells you can buy.....Uuummm were those crappie y'all were catchn? Ok where's that vid? 😁 That SeaArk is tha real deal.....
Thank you brother , yes those were Crappie we were catching , we caught more , but about 75% of what we caught were bass , but the ones we caught had some size to em . You got to love that spring bite . And I agree SeArks are awesome
