MY HOME BAIT TANK/ LIVEWELL HOW IT WORKS

[@johnthomas5806]

thanks for adding to my knowledge base...

[@joebuck66]

Very nice. Great video my friend.

[@StarkeyOutdoors]

Great setup. Im fixing to make one.

[@bowl830]

Thanks. Good luck. There’s nothing like having a supply at a moment’s notice. Makes a lot better trip not having to worry about catching bait every time

[@FishinNStuff]

That's a nice bait tank Jeff . Where did you get the fiberglass cylinder

[@bowl830]

It’s a concrete form. I just added the bottom. 100,000psi burst lol.

[@derekwolford3948]

Thanks Jeff... Great video, short and to the point.

[@jboat571x9]

I have a 250 gallon tank pretty much the same setup. I can keep shad in it for 2 months in the winter. However I can’t even keep bluegills or perch alive for a week in the summer.

[@bowl830]

Yea. It’s a lot of work in the summer. Bait is so easy around here in summer I usually don’t even bother. But boy it’s nice in the winter. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it

[@mattwatson6597]

thanks

[@petergambino2129]

tropical fish stores sell water conditioner for aquarium use, it will eliminate chlorine instantly, and make tap water safe for fish. a small amount goes a long way.

[@gregbryant9673]

Thanks Jeff. Great setup you have there.

[@fishin-impossible2992]

Man that's the ticket right there, Great video Jeff, Thanks for sharing

[@MuskratAdventures]

Great idea! Definitely going to use some of this in my next tank build! Thanks brother!

[@bowl830]

Awesome I appreciate you watching and commenting.

[@PopPopJoe]

Got two questions? 1- Why did you put PVC in/on bottom of tank? 2- How is the filter system attached to the outside of tank? Screws & fiberglass ?? Just wondering due to water leaks. Sorry for all the questions. Hope all is well with your gang!

[@bowl830]

That was a fiberglass concrete form. I had to put a bottom in it. The filter is just a box I built and minted to the outside. It’s just got standard plumbing pipes. You could hang a bucket on the side and get the same thing

[@teamwampuskatoutdoors4275]

Nice tank Jeff. Good video.

[@skipstewart9399]

That’s awesome! What kinda barrel is that and how many gallons?

[@bowl830]

It was a fiberglass concrete form. I had to add a bottom to it. It’s a touch under 400 full. I put around 350 gallons in it.

[@skipstewart9399]

Ok thanks so much, keep the videos coming always enjoy them!

[@huxmetalworks7371]

Great job thanks for sharing I have a question or 2 if you don't mind on your intake in your tank with size is your holes at the bottom of your tank 1more you said gravity fed and I see it working my question is the stand pipe that feeds the dirty water to the filter box how do you determine the height of that pipe thanks for sharing

[@bowl830]

It’s a1 1/4” feed pipe. The holes in the intake are around 1/4” There about 5or 6 of them making a screen. The riser pipe determines your low water level. The higher the pipe the more water it takes to make the system work. I cut mine shorter so I don’t have to run it completely full. I got mine shorter so I can use the tank at half full Thank you for watching and commenting I appreciate it

[@huxmetalworks7371]

@@bowl830 thanks for sharing

[@mattmoore684]

Thank you so much Jeff. I've been waiting for someone to do a video about these tanks. This will help me build my own. Great video 👍👍👍👍

[@williamshelley6644]

Jeff, when making the filter box how did you join the PVC Board together? PVC Glue? How did you waterproof the joints to prevent leaking? Thanks

[@bowl830]

I used stainless screws to hold it together. I used fiberglass resin to bind the parts together. Just the resin. I have a video on here on a livewell I built for the boat. In that video I talk about how to do it

[@carolinaoutdoors1543]

Pontoon updates soon I hope

[@bowl830]

I’ll do a video of it finished soon I hope. My brother wanted it so bad. I let him have it. Doing the work off video. But I did get another Starcraft in the deal. Lol.

[@borfishing7690]

Do you keep it in a temperature controlled environment? Use it year round? Looks like a great system. Thanks for posting this video

[@bowl830]

I keep it in my covered boat shed most the year.

[@Lowboy22]

I watched ur video on building a livewell. I stay in Greenville Sc and I'm having trouble finding the pvc sheet that you are talking about. I need help finding it. Can you help me. Thank you.

[@bowl830]

I get mine from a company called Carolina builders. I’ll ask them. Thank you for watching

[@CatfishWeekly]

More good info!!

[@CunninghamTrey]

Great tank! Thanks for taking the time to show. Do you have a PVC supplier in Gaston county you recommend?

[@bowl830]

I get mine from the building center in Pineville NC. 3/4 4x8 runs around 140

[@CunninghamTrey]

Team Reelin The Blues Looks close. Thanks again!

[@timhunter6901]

Where did you buy the 3/4 pvc sheet all I can find is 1/2 in

[@bowl830]

I get mine from contractor supply stores. Not Lowe’s or homedepot. I use it for new home construction. I think 84 lumber can order it. The place I use is Carolina builders, they have several locations in north and South Carolina Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it
