LIVEWELLS AND TRANSPORTATION
I net most of my herring at Gilbert Stuart in North Kingstown RI. But I have a 20 min car ride back to my overnight tank. heres what i do.
With a 150 gallon tank in the back of my truck and a pump, just a regular bilge pump that i run of my car ciggarett lighter. I keep about 50 gallons of water in the tank and when i get to the river, i fill it with a fresh 50 and start the pump. Catch my herring load and go.
At home, i keep about a 300 hundred gallon tank, maybe more, that my son picked up from work somewhere. I keep it full to the top with some well water and I fill it with the water i take from the tank in the truck. I run an old POOL FILTRATION and pump without the filter. With fresh water and fresh air i've kept my herring alive for over a week.
