Not as much of a problem in winter months. The hobie tank deposits water from the bottom thus going upward (circulating oxygen before exiting thru scupper). I also use a thresher tank(three years now,same tank) and have never had a problem with it at all;I really like it.

When making a homemade 5 gallon bucket bait tank can you install the inflow at the bottom of the bucket? Most every homemade tank I've seen with an Attwood type self-priming pump has both the inflow and outflow at the top.

I've lost the majority of my kayak scoop of dines and/or chovys within 30 minutes or so after leaving the point loma bait receiver.
