Rod hold live well and much much more

No worries bro. I can handle it. It will be my own personnel bait barge.

Have you guys ever heard of a bait tube? some of the kayakers use them that don't have a bait well.

It's just a 6" diameter by 2-2.5' PVC or ABS tube with a cap on one end and a unscrewable cap on the other, holes drilled along the sides to allow water to flow through as you move and two eye bolts or rope tied to it to tie to the side of your tube or yak. Fill it with live bait and as you move along the water changes or airates and when you want bait you just pull it up unscrew the end and pour out a anchovie.

See if I have picts of mine or I'll bring it to the next gathering.

i dont know about live bait and tubing but i will try it and if i dont like it i will cut my lose and float away lol

The only harbor I've been too where I even noticed live bait being sold is MDR. Where would you even get live bait to use from other places? I have a dive float and an old boogie board I could try and setup.

I like that idea.

Any pics?

there are a couple of video on you-tube. Seems like it's a bit heavy and bulky though. I think I would prefer towing a small float with net looped underneath.

It's not as bulky as it sounds actually, trying to find mine to take picts or bring to the next get togeather. Not sure where I put it but I think it's inside of my Malibu Explorer hanging at my work.

You guys don't have to buy bait you know, if you pick up bait fish on your fish finder or see them schooling around all you have to do is drop down a sibiki rig or first chum with a little cat/dog food they sell at .99 cents stores. Or you can hit a local pier the day before or in the morning and catch a few on a sibiki rig if you have a bucket with an airator.
