the herring river was ok and the canal was dead no herring on sat night after 7:30 ish in the run. sunday was ok, I got bait and some ok fish nothing big 1 36" sun night.
To build your tank go to a car wash or ask around for a plastic 55gal drum cut it @ 2" down from the top to take the top off.
cut it again @the 35 gal line.(23" up from the botom ) now the top should fit back in the barrel with the 2" sitting inside. use drywall screws to secure the top back on screwing from the outside in. cut your door in toe top go to wal mart and get a pump (mine is a super saver I think) and mount it ( If this is confusing I could fax you something if you like.
