I have been beating my head agaisnt the wall about my livewell. The bait keep dying. I am using the a 52qt coleman cooler with a recycling fountain (bait saver). I refresh the water every hr or so and still the weaker bait come up floating. I always saltwater fish and dont have any problem with the pinfish but the greenbacks and threadfins dont fair so well. So I read on the good ole web that some bait dont like square wells but a round well is not feasible in my boat. Somebody mentioned somewhere that having circulation in the baitwell will help the bait not beat themselves up in the corners. So I used Russ's, Bassboy's idea for a livewell except I drilled three 1/8" holes in the verticle pvc aimed along the backside of the coller and was suprised to see that it produced a bit of a circular motion around the cooler. Do you think this will work? or Do you think that dead bait is just part of the game and I must live with it? thanks in advance for your input.
