Need help.
Can anyone out here please provide info on where I can get about six 5 gallon buckets with SCREW tops on them to store eels in off a dock? I checked at home depot and Lowes today and they only carry the snap cover ones and had no clue where i can get them.
Thanx

Unless it is very, very private, forget about storing eels off a dock. They will be released by some do-gooder (or kind-souled plug guy ;) ) within hours.

Mike these guys have everything plastic. Dealt with them many times.
Here is something you apply to a regular bucket and thus becomes a screw top. Not sure of how sizing goes but I am sure if you call them they will help you out. Pretty much what is said above but you may get a better price from these guys. Maybe not.

Mike. Fatman on Sanford road had about a dozen of them last week. He wanted $5 bucks a piece with the lid.

Mike-you can make tubes out of large pvc pipes(drill them out) and epoxy a cap on one end and a screw on cap on the other. probably be able to lock multiple ones with a cable lock. I made one and had it off a friends slip for a season.
