Re: Building a bait live well?
Hi there,
'Just a few websites for you-perhaps you find something there ;
http://www.eetruckstuff.com/cust_caron.html
-about some guy who built the whole thing on the back of his pick up.
And this one :http://www.geocities.com/bayrunner.geo/minnows.html
I'm not sure if these sites will be of any help to you, so see for
yourself !
'Don't know your 'budget' either, so hard to give tips.What I do know
is that we overhere used to make most of our 'hobby equipment'
ourselves - partly for fun, partly due to a chronically lack of
money ;)) So ... a nice big pvc / other kinda plastic 'thing' is easy
to find...and very cheap as well. (try for instance your local d.i.y-
centre - lotsa times it doesn't pay off to go and make things
yourself cause the variaty of forms and sizes over there is huge and
the prices low due to mass production.)'Easier to adapt the 'planned
size' of the well in your boat to the available 'well', than vice
versa ...) Also we use pumps like the ones used in central-heating-
systems ('got no idea how that's called in proper english ;)) or a
pump out off a washing machine -its very powerfull ! Old machines are
been given away often-taking out the pump is a matter off minutes.
Succes !

If anyone has plans or ideas for building a live well to hold baitfish
(mullet), I would appreciate info. I am specifically wondering about a safe
and effective way of getting water in and out of the well in safe way, to
keep the bait fresh and healthy during the fishing day! The boat will be a
Diablo. I do estuary and Bass fishing here in South Africa.
Kind Regards
