I don't care for the Keep alive system they make too much foam.surface foam robs oxygen from the water.u can use foam off but ur addin another chem to the n=mix.The site i put up has lots of inexpensive Air pumps in 12v.The Dayton we call the coffe can draws .08 amps which is practically nothin.get thier cat.its very big has any thing an everthing for keepen fish alive.U can make a inexpensive livewell by taken ur cooler an addin plastic to make the corners round use 1/2" stainless pan head screws.make a hole in the top for the air hose.u can wire a switch to the back of ur truckor just use a marine battery.In the spring live baits are the way to go.Take some herring an pitch em off some of that great structure in RI an hold on.places like beavertail where u can park near the water make me drool.u could plug em to death an think there was nothing there an picth a live in there an get ur head blown off.Herring are much more fickle (not as hardy)blue backs are junk.we get live bunker later in spring here they are the best.tough to kill sometimes u gotta slow em down a bit to get eaten.A good rule of thumg is at least 2 gallons of water per 1/2 lb of baitfish.
