this logic is interesting, but is it just one guys opinion or is this real? can you just add oxygen from a tank to the water with an air stone? and not need to circulate water? Or does this work on fresh water bait only?

TY

Hello Ty I am the author of that link... I do not know if this techniqe will work for salt, however the in my humble opinion it should. For fresh water Striped Bass fishing it is very hard to keep Blue Back Hering alive, with this system they stay alive all day in the hot sun while the guys with 5 gal buckets and bubble boxes have them dying off within hours. We can not pump the fresh water into the tank as the temp of the surface water is in excess of 85 degrees f. this will kill the bait quickly. BTW this system is sold to fisherman and used exclusively by the guides on most of the fresh water lakes in Georgia.

Tight lines,
Walt
