Yeah, it is a real pain in the a** to keep them alive. I have a big livewell in my yard where I've been able to keep them going for a couple of weeks, but the maintainance is like having a second job. It's worth it though. There have been days when a bass wouldn't even look at a dead herring, but put a live one in front of him and whamo, your on.

I have a sump pump rigged on an aerator bar made of pvc pipe that is on a timer to run for 15 min. every 2 hours. i also change some of the water every few days.
