Bait Tank Construction - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

gary sullivan · 06-06-2007, 03:07 PM

For my bait tank pictured below I made sure my inlet was above the larger outlet. I have a manual electrical shutoff that gets used periodically during an outing and I don't want the water level to drop below 3/4 full when shut off. I got the special inlet fitting at OEX in Point Loma. It will direct the water down and to the side of the container giving a good flow direction for the bait.

Thanks for the links Douglas.

I've seen the Bucket Tank before and read some tutorials on those.

Thanks for the input.

i'm glad i never got to the point where i thought to myself that i should have taken the advice of those with more experience that i.

i finally got my kayak to the level of respectable fishing yak this weekend with the help of brian at OEX and a buddy. added a ff and bait tank...

that bait tank idea was really stupid- just based on price. $90 for fibergalss and resin

? i'll take a $10 bucket, thanks. i never even built the form.

thanks for the suggestions.
