DIY Inexpensive Floating Live Bait And Chum Bucket

[@chrisz.9974]

I plan to drill holes on about 1/4 or 1/3 to keep water in so the bait don’t stress as much and can swim while I’m picking them.

[@jerryfletcher2384]

Great video. I made one with slight variations. First I remove the handle and place the rope through the holes because I’m lifting the bucket up from my 25ft pier. Then I only put holes 3/4 the way down the side and none on the bottom so it would hold water when taking it out of the ocean. Turned out awesome! Thanks

Thanks Jerry. Nice ideas.

How many shrimp can survive for 2 days in this size bucket? I'm guessing 5 or 6 dozen?

[@nickj1968]

Thanks for the tips. My model has no holes for the bottom 10cm (4 inches) so it retains a little water when I have it in the boat for a few minutes.

[@Aksmaniyak]

Glad to help.

[@kafkapie]

any idea on how much weight this could carry? Thanks!

[@Aksmaniyak]

Good question. I never tried to max out the weight.

[@stugots119]

Like the video. Can you tell me what size drill bit you used? TY

[@Aksmaniyak]

Thanks. I used a 1/4 inch bit but that is not really too important.

[@TherealYN711]

Awesome video sir and quality work. What did you use to ream the holes?

[@Aksmaniyak]

Thanks! I used an electric hand drill and 1/4 inch bit. It took a while to do it.

[@fishmandad588]

Hi can you tell me where did you get the top fro for the bait bucket

[@Aksmaniyak]

Hi, It's all from Home Depot in the paint department.

[@josephmcgee8450]

Where did you purchase the top?

[@Aksmaniyak]

I bought the bucket and top in the paint department of Home Depot.

[@charlesrandall6610]

How long does the bait stay alive

[@Aksmaniyak]

It depends on the bait. It works like other bait buckets.

[@Aksmaniyak]

Thanks. I bought it at Home Depot.

[@chrisnewman5751]

Nice, I'm gonna do the same to my bucket but cutting a hole in a bodyboard as my float to create less drag pulling it behind my fishing tube!

[@Aksmaniyak]

Thanks Chris. I just toss this off the dock or shore. You are right, too much drag to pull it behind.

[@mobidrewes680]

coolest trick ever

[@Aksmaniyak]

Thanks!

[@TechnoMulen]

in smaller scale you can put fish leftovers into a sock.

[@Aksmaniyak]

Very true.

[@49richard]
