[@conway.iitwitty2889]

Hello. Enjoyed meeting you today , on the pier . Look forward to learning some very beneficial tips from you . See ya on the pier , happy fishing my friend !

[@abgregg208]

I'll still have your number also.

[@fishin-impossible2992]

Pretty good idea buddy, if i would've seen this last week i wouldn't have had to drill a hole in the lower side of my homemade livewell. Ill use this on my next build . Thanks for the idea

[@curtiseugenekeyes4574]

In my experience with the pump like that the housing heats up from running the pump constantly and will eventually heat up the water killing the baitfish as well I chose to get a livewell pump that mounts outside of the tank to keep the water cool inside the tank and just install your water lines outside the tank back up to the top

[@JustinsFishinFetish]

Thats a great set up. I like the filtration.

[@terrymccorkle1674]

i built one that is the same basic thing but without the filter. that a good idea and i will be redoing it. cheeper than buying that additive for the water

[@abgregg208]

I'm glad I could help

[@christophermcnamara5550]

Great idea!

[@michaelmoon7748]

Thank you for sharing. Very helpful but how long will blue Gill stay alive?

[@Erik69ization]

Thats a brilliant idea, whats the longest that you kept bait alive?

[@abgregg208]

3 days with ice and the pump system.

[@thecatdaddyexperience1222]

Nice man.

[@cornbinder1970]

I built one. Pump won't prime unless water is covering pump. I need taller tank, unfortunately.

[@abgregg208]

Did you try leaving the build in. Turn the pump of then back on?

[@MrJasonace99]

That's what I was thinking also the bilge need be submerged..

[@larryschmidt8663]

is there a way to use the pump for in a barrel at home without using a car battery to power it and plug into electricity.

[@abgregg208]

If you can find a trickle charger that's puts out more than the bilge. I have found that will work

[@jodysherlocksr.5481]

@@abgregg208 use a pond pump that runs on 120 volt

[@MrJasonace99]

Hacked Fish nice work. I was sent here on my search and plan to diy a above ground solar pool filter pump system.. Ive looked at a few 12v pond pumps... Then had the idea of a bilge pump... Which is much cheaper and I'm thinking may be less power requirements. The bilge pump idea fitting nicely with 2inch pvc is giving me good ideas... I need to check it out some more to see if it will do what I'm wanting... And actually my plan is to run it directly to the solar panel and use no batteries. Its gonna be a challenge, so we'll see. First video I seen of yours n I hit the subscribe and like button. Look fwd to seeing more. Ty Any ideas or advice come to mind lemme know. Ty

[@mw20001]

You can use an old charger cord as long as the output is 12 volts

[@thecatdaddyexperience1222]

Is that a keep alive aerator?

[@abgregg208]

Little airator from Walmart. It takes 2 AAs I have one that takes two Ds

[@bennywalker549]

What specific brand of pump is that

[@abgregg208]

Cheap pump from eBay. It didn't have a brand on it

[@marlowsokstate]

pump should be at the bottom of the setup

[@abgregg208]

It's work like this for about 2 years. No problems. Can I ask why should it be at the bottom they are made to set barely in water in a boat to pump water out.

[@marlowsokstate]

@@abgregg208 first its a submersible bilge pump it is made to be able to be completely underwater 2nd keeping it at the top means the water level needs to stay with in a small margin of the pump pick up or it would run dry burn out if not level say during transport back of a truck or even in the boat getting to your fishing hole there are simpler versions that are still filtered more compacted yet take less parts to buy and can work in most size tanks but thats a good style pump to use from the 20 different re-brands there are of it

[@abgregg208]

Like I said it's just my version. People can do what they want to do. This is what I came up with that worked for me. Tell me I'm right. Tell me I'm wrong. either way it just a video people can use, if they want, that work for me.

[@marlowsokstate]

@@abgregg208 never said you were right or wrong just different i only gave my opinion and then explained my view when asked iv used them pumps on my old bait tanks and aquaponics system many diffrent brands still the same pump real hit or miss on quality but work good i just would not want to run the risk burning my pump out

[@abgregg208]

Sorry sir. I completely misread that. I apologise. I understand what you're saying now. Yep those pumps are all the same really. Join my Facebook Hacked to Fish we can exchange ideas on a better way to revise this idea.

[@Manuel_Z_Kayaks]

You spent more time filming your face and doing things off camera then anything else not to mention you sounded like you were guessing it the whole thing

[@abgregg208]

The reason I sound like I guessing is I had a stroke about 2 years ago when the doctors took my native kidneys out. The reason I started a KZbin channel was the doctors thought it would help with my word placement. I getting a little better but still struggling and have to stop and think of what I'm saying. Thanks for the comment
