Default RE: Help building bait tank

Use your bilge as a fresh water filler only to tank bottom. You dont need water circulation within the tank, that will tire the bait quicker. Use a air pump and stone to pump for continuous oxigination to the tank bottom. Bait will last forever like that. Also if possible put a wier ball valve toward the top of tank and pipe out that way you can flush tank with fresh water using bilge and the older water will just push up and flow out top valve. I have built and sold bait tanks for years. This method I describe is the most budget minded way to keep bait alive for days and days as long as you have a good battery.
