How To make a HOMEMADE Live Bait well! DIY Livewell Project

[@LandsharkOutdoors]

Going to make this video again with a much bigger well in the future.

[@jeremywalsh4188]

the tsunami pump has a removable cartridge, it slides out. you could use that as the drain without cutting anymore holes

[@dido4485]

Landshark Fishing what battery should I use

[@curtisclark13]

Really wanting to use that exact battery. What kind is it?

[@fishing_With_Vic]

My name is victor

[@seyalifes-tp8ng]

you need bait for fishing in 2021 i am selling minnows only in canada

[@blackdog1234567890]

Great DYI video. One suggestion for connecting your wiring to the battery. Solder your wires together and cover them with heat shrink wrap. The shrink wrap will prevent water from contacting your copper wiring and causing corrosion. Keep the vids coming. Thanks

[@GoldRatEngineering]

Should definately run an inline fuse on your positive connection. It will be written on the pump which fuse is required. Great content mate

[@salvatoregagliardi48]

Acetone to clean your hands and around the fittings. Wipe off excess 5200 then dampen a rag with acetone and all will clean up nicely! Nice video.

[@ronhart4166]

I have had a portable bait well for a long time. Quick tip for you. Add a stainless inlet adapter to the inside pump and it will keep trash and fish scales out of your pump. Love the pump you chose. You can actually buy replacement motors for them and want have to tear up your plumbing :)

[@jonnywaselectric]

I made a handy one out of a small bucket, that 5 gallon bucket is ideal. I drilled heaps of holes in the top 1/3 and zip tied a pool noodle near the lid all the way around it so it floats. I made a hatch in the lid to put the fish in easy and they can't jump out. I don't need any batteries or pumps, I tied on a rope and just hang it in the water and it floats. The good thing when you need to move spots there is always half a bucket of water from only drilling holes in the top 1/3 of the bucket. In some situations it isn't ideal, but for the most part it works awesome.

[@jamaijohnson362]

Really enjoy your vid keep it up just some advice about 5200 , if you coat your hand with soap water it doesn't stick and a soapy spoon will give you smooth edges. Keep up the good work

[@jkg6211]

Best idea posted here yet! Others advise using WD40... the residue from it WILL kill Shrimp.

[@herokillerinc]

Looks like a great Live Well! And sign me up as somebody who liked the video and loves all the stuff related to tackle and tactics!

[@greatwhitesfishingadventur2273]

Great Stuff !!! Would have liked to have seen the "Live Bait Well" in action with "Salt water and Livies", in it !!! Best idea IS to put a 'Drain Plug' of sorts in the bottom, just makes life so much easier when it comes to emptying !!! Thanks for making this video Viktor !! , makes a LOT of sense, especially for those not fishing where they get their live bait from !!!! Cheers "Down Under Mike"

[@miamiwax5504]

Cant u just flip it over? Lol

[@JoseEspinoza-vr4pm]

Awesome... I have a tank and now I'll have a pump, thanks to this video.... vic I love all your videos true monster....

[@curtisclark13]

Thank you for the video and the knowledge, sir!!! I ordered all the ingredients from the links you so graciously included and I’m building my live well next week to your exact specifications. Much appreciated sir.

[@blakevenable2898]

Curtis Clark how did it turn out?

[@johnbiden5987]

How did it work?

[@nataliebriggs3395]

You could also install a ball valve in the clear hose with an outlet hose to drain it. Just a thought.

[@TheJwhollis]

Great video content. Workmanship without gloves ??? LOL Effective job, YES !!! Gotta admit your cooking skills are lot more polished. Enjoy your channel. Thanks.

[@foreignluxuries5489]

Made this today and it works great

[@Snooknuggets]

I had trouble finding the swivel head at Lowe's or home depot but west marine had one for ten bucks, but if you want it to flow in a certain direction I had to position it in the direction I wanted it to be so the water would circulate before I applied the sealant. thanks for the video landshark!

[@bradleyhudson4937]

This is gonna help me out a lot. I'm about to start stocking a pond with catfish and need a way to move them by my self.

[@trinkladd]

The hole saw goin in opposite direction is on purpose. It makes for a smoother cut in plastic. Goin reverse in plastic melts more so then cutting. For a Burr free cut.

[@Jragustin90]

MASTER BAITER

[@floridabassin3529]

Agustin's Fishing life bruh 😂😂😂😂

[@xxskilzzhunterxx]

I saw that too

[@offthedockproductions2404]

Agustin A. that's me

[@hawkeye8712]

Hey Victor how you doing brother just wanna say thanks for this video. But this video. Also want to say how I learned something today and it's going to help me thank you brother be safe out there.

[@OFFFishing]

Live bait works best👍👍

[@alexcrews7505]

thanks Vic for that tutorial on that live well you are an excellent teacher and a great fisherman like that live well I think I'm going to do the same thing take care and keep on fishing

[@TheTeemroper]

Have you ever made a tank with a filter? I live a little north of Atlanta GA and the #1 Striper in the world is Lake Sidney Lanier; or as we like to call it, Big Sid. Blue back Herring is the bait of choice and they do no likey dirty water or even lake water. But you HAVE to filter it as their scales come off really easy and they will die on you. The bait tanks at the fishing store I buy bait are north of $500 because they all filters built into them.

[@LK-fh3vu]

First like! Victor you should do more fly fishing videos. Great video already getting an idea on how to make my own live well for stalking the pond on my ranch! Keep up the great videos😅

[@anthonychiappetta9225]

another quality ass perfect ass video helping fellow anglers yet kid only has 70k subs, should have 700k easy

[@SandmannOZ]

If you used a boat bilge pump you could keep all the plumbing internal and avoid cutting holes in your bucket. Is there a reason why you feel recirculating water is better than an aquarium style air pump?

[@inreellife7372]

What about portable recirculating LW for something like, say, a Jon boat that doesn't have internal LW? I know the priming issue (hose over the side of the boat), but I believe there are diaphragm pumps that can overcome this. Would be a cool option for someone who doesn't have much cash, doesn't want to modify their boat (below-waterline holes in the hull!!), etc.

[@GrimReaper68440]

Here is a suggestion for the drain plug that might be useful , don't use a plug like the ones on a ice chest. Use a ball valve. You can get a twist ball valve or a lever ball valve. These two types of values can be used to on pvc containers. Home Depot is a good place to find these and are pretty cheap to buy. Can't wait to see you use this bait tank on juno pier. Take care and happy holidays.

[@williamknight3772]

Use the 5200 and install a hose Bibb in the side at the bottom to let the water out

[@ianbellan4112]

what battery should I get for this? any recommendations?

[@tokay999]

I enjoy all the tackle Tuesdays, I appreciate all the knowledge

[@richardbowles7704]

More tackle tuesdays please

[@buynsell365]

Excellent video !!! This is exactly what I needed and thanks for the links to the equipment.

[@jerryadams5401]

Great, simple project. Lots of value and low cost, low risk project. I think it is easily scalable to smaller or larger live wells. You're right, I can see how it doesn't really work for installation in a boat deck but some parts could lead in the right direction. Thanks. Oh yes, do more. And for us newbies, how about a minimal content offshore tackle box plus another for inshore and freshwater. Not too detailed just what tools and consumables are needed so we Don't get miles from home without the bare essentials. My best to Brook. Maybe she could help with Tackle Tuesday. ; -D

[@nickcowan7056]

It also will work if you don't have a live well on ur boat just keep that on the deck and plug in the onboard hose?

[@jamiecoxe7327]

Instead of a drain plug, you could also consider adding a three-way valve and use the pump to remove the water. This will allow you to empty it from your boat.

[@C3BFA]

Built mine with some of your ideas thank you

[@chrisz.9974]

How long can I keep bait in the back of my truck with a recirculating system like this?

[@TylersOutdoorAdventures]

Question. Is the pump got a filter in it. I know the shad I use the scales come off easy. Was wondering if the pump had a filter.

[@matthewduman7687]

How long will they survive for? Shrimp for instance. Need something for two weeks minimum

[@MrBRONCOTIME]

Very informative video. Gave me a good starting point.

[@phil2537]

you could also use the Flow_Rite pump out aerator head instead of a drain plug. It swivels and when you're done pull the head out and the pump will send water through the aerator and out your discharge hose. Tight Lines.

[@fishwalton7596]

Great presentation. Easy to follow instruction.

[@jimmyceltic4120]

Cool idea thank you and have a good day and stay safe

[@HodgePodgeGarage]

Nice build. Those holes might be easier to drill with the drill going in the right direction;). Might just b flipped on the video but it looked like it was going backwards.

[@willmyschlongro4280]

Thought I was the only one who noticed that lol

[@mkclean13]

Will Myschlongro no you are not alone. My wife gets mad at me for pointing things like this out in movies 😎

[@addy113]

Ya I saw that too lol

[@elnenepretty]

I saw it too lol it's all good brother love your vids

[@HodgePodgeGarage]

I plan to do this myself just to have a mullet tank at home so I always have live bait

[@ericinteriano9350]

Very well done!! You guys are awesome!!! Keep up the good guys!!!!

[@rivercityinvestor]

Awesome job Victor!!!

[@Graphics21]

Nice, simple setup.

[@cjmac8233]

How do you clean the water ? do you just leave it and empty it once a week or so ? Also do you know if this set up is applicable for saltwater fish ?

[@Mr05sti]

you ever plan on doing any fishing out of san diego next year? i highly recommend it! the blue fin bite is crazy!

[@intox69]

That's just an oversized aerator. Why not just use the bin with a portable airstone/pump and run it on a couple D batteries or a plug-in pump while at home? It would do the same thing. Or better yet use said air pump to run a cycled sponge filter which would eliminate ammonia in the water produced by the bait. Then all you got to do is change out 25%ish of the water once a week, and you can keep it alive indefinitely. Just like an aquarium.

[@chrissadberry7088]

Did this about 10 years ago back in high school to keep a bunch of blue gill alive for cat fishing

[@alexv.4608]

Where did you get the adjustable 360 valve

[@jasonsmith517]

Having a hard time finding one myself!

[@mybrotherken1]

Great video Victor the best

[@joetorres4165]

Hey Viktor as usual another great informative video well done! I like the tackle Tuesday videos

[@miked8227]

Only thing I’d do differently would be to put a tee in the line and a ball valve on the tee to drain the water. The pump will do the work and have the tee high enough off the floor so you can easily put a 5 gal. bucket under it, or connect a hose to the ball valve so you can drain water in the yard.

[@COOPERSCICHILDS]

Excellent build thanks for sharing

[@561.hudson9]

your channel is growing so fast

[@KrazyKajun602]

I would have just used rubber gaskets to seal the pump to the container, this way if you have to replace the pump at a later date due to failure.

[@Rodg470]

Lol that 5200 is a bear it'll take gelcoat off a transom of a boat believe me . Great video

[@SunsTo7]

Hey thanks ,it is a very good instructional video . How long van you run the pump on a 12 volt battery,before it fades?

[@MrHiddenstash2]

Nice I'mma make one of these looks legit good work!!!

[@johnbiden5987]

Did it work

[@MrRakesh31]

your vids are awesome going to build one. you would of finished faster but your hole saw was spinning backwards. LOL. you and brook keep up the good work love your vids

[@Calm1now]

when you are cutting plastic with a whole saw if you run the hole saw in reverse you get a much cleaner cut than running it normally ... watch the aquaponics videos and you'll see most everyone doing this and talking about ,,,

[@dixiesteuerwald4865]

hi love your vids and like your rod and reel set ups

[@eaglecreeker494]

rubber washers would have worked also and none of the mess or permanent problems if a leak appeared later on,or in case you change something or decide to use these parts in a new tank. you can cut rubber washers out of any rubber mat or buy them. Currently making a Minnow Sell holding tank as Ive noticed all the old local minnow shops have closed down and left a need for a live bait shop,,,good way to supplement social security in my opinion,,guess i will find out. picked up a working small chest freezer for free and i will be adding a coat of gel coat in a blue,,light blue color to help assure all areas are well sealed and maintain a better stress free environment. I plan on using a bucket filter although the smaller version made from a large diameter pvc pipe is also a option that looks good too. Haven't decided on a pump yet due to price differences .

[@pdsCV]

How well does that do keeping anchovies alive?

[@KayakChris]

Great video and supply list! Thanks for this.

[@williamscalf4187]

Is there a specific reason you had your drill on reverse while drilling the holes instead of forward as you would normally while drilling?

[@firstcatchfishing2778]

😂

[@mycapstone]

Nice job!

[@Mike_Y.]

Great video bud, thanks

[@SnookBite]

Huge help to the public Victor. Made a few of these over the years. However, could you reply with (or shoot a follow-up video) your recommendations of how to build a transport cart. We see these at larger tackle shops but they want the bank for them. I really like what I've seen on a few glimpses of the one you take from the Juno Pier to the Inlet. Can you tell us about it?

[@fishingthesurf496]

thank you for finally making this vid

[@armwillis7]

nice.

[@BERTRAND85O]

Great video man!!

[@mountainrambler1077]

Nice ! I need to know how much rock salt to mix with 25 gallon of water for herring bait ? Anyone ?

[@kealahonu]

Great video Vic 🤙🏽

[@outdoorpassion9857]

This would be perfect for when my cousin and I get a jon boat

[@arabslayer4660]

You can't afford a Jon boat

[@moralestexasfishing5583]

This was an awesome video bud.👍

[@trinkladd]

When I grow up, I wanna be a *Master baiter*

[@lifeonthefarm2081]

Nice buddy, well done 👏

[@digflfishing2177]

Could this be made in a way to draw fresh saltwater from a nearby source? Maybe with the addition of a Stand pipe?

[@JB-jn9kb]

Awesome video, definitely making one of these. Just wondering, do you bring bait home and store them overnight in one of these or is this something you would only use when buying live bait at the store and then taking that bait to the boat for fishing?

[@karltontroy5765]

Would like to see how you keep that battery charged though..

[@ThePhilDEEZ]

Buy a 12v battery charger.

[@danbraun8430]

Brilliant thank you

[@lastcasttv5380]

Awesome stuff man!

[@gutts00fish55]

Do a vid on trolley rigging

[@GettingBentWithBo]

Great idea, how long will fish live in the live well? How often do you need to replace the water?

[@dannypham4203]

What battery do you recommend? I want to make a live well for when I go pier fishing that will last a few hours

[@RevolutionRoad]

Great idea! Not sure if this has been mentioned, but how the hell to do you lug that around with all the other stuff you have to carry?

[@ianafzelius388]

That's pretty cool

[@UrbanFisherman]

Awesome video

[@bearscubs6994]

Great video

[@ELJefeE7]

sup Victor. love your videos. do have any videos on how to rig live bait for pier fishing. much aooreciated. and keep those videos coming.

[@finnafishfl]

Why pump on the outside??

[@andyjones1060]

Lol o I was dying at the title, very good sir very good 😂

[@ct7024]

Awsome bro !!!

[@averylainhart9208]

scales will clog the pump.If you have seen how bait tanks are made the water needs to be filtered before going through the pump

[@sasquatchmedia1262]

what size drill did you use btw.. I am copying this build

[@usmc2307]

If that adhesive is anything like the 8802 adhesive I have used, spit on your finger and it shouldn't stick to your finger.

[@HG-uu4bb]

Nice vid man

[@injectingRevolution]

Great video bro. can you do a video on the braid vs mono debate i want to hear your opinon. from NZ fan.

[@G1Fishing.]

can this Pump be use in a 10 Gallon? Is it overpower?
