Live Wells

Mr Hunters, Not sure what your asking? The macs are for bait for bass, not bait for the macs.

When catching macs when they are spotty sometimes I do chum as I drift with ground macs.

I made a nice set up with an 1100 gph pump on my thru well, two overflows and I did all the plumbing to bring the water in.]

Check this out.

Thanks Van. Good link. I just want to find something that can hold 20 or so Macs, Pogs, etc, dosn't break my bank, and dosn't fry my brain tying to install.

I shoulda taken a pic of the tank last year, as this topic has come up a few times. I pump in from the bottom, and there is a 90 elbow so the water goes "spinny" that line is 1" and I have a plastic ball valve to isolate it. Then the two overflows easiliy keep up with that flow.
I used a rule pump that has an extra outlet for the washdown and then the line from the pump itself, that way I only have one thru hull.
I will remember to take a pic this season.

MarshC it was not too much $$$, but i did all the plumbing myself no factory installed stuff.

I have a 18 Foot Parker, found a used Aqua World UT 29 that fit perfectly under the leaning post (don't even have to tie it down), Rule Submearsable pump mounted on a bracket out side the transom. Ran the hose over the transom and right along the floor,zip tied the drain hose along it dumping right at the scuppers. When I am done just pull it out of the bracket and store it right in the tank. Hoses are a very slight trip hazard, but when not in use I can the entire setup out and no thru hull fixtures.Check out Live Bait Larry's web site has all the parts and great photo's

Is this boat in Tiverton? Looks like the Sakonnet River Bridge in the background. I grew up in Middletown and my uncles sailboat is at Brewers accross the river. I know the marinas in that area well.

This is what I'm talking about! Cool. I don't have a CC type of boat. I need something small enough but still effective enough to work well. This might be a good resource. Thanks.
