Simple DIY Live Bait TANK Setup!!!

In today's video I show you all how to create a Simple DIY Live Bait TANK Setup! This was very easy to make at my house with very few materials. This live bait well is able to keep dozens of baitfish alive for long fishing trips and move them flawlessly from spot to spot. You can see me using this setup in many future and past videos.
Leave a comment below how you would build your own live bait tank, or if you have any questions.

I just officially moved to Japan! I'll be posting plenty of content from my Florida vacation over the next few weeks and I look forward to learning the new fishery here!

[@cadenlloyd1661]

JunoRyan you’re going to love it out there man. 24 months will fly by especially with the operations you’ll most likely be partaking in, so take advantage of every opportunity!

[@tokay999]

do some bass fishing if you get a chance

[@joellopez2758]

Thats hardcore, lucky you!

[@LandsharkOutdoors]

The crew misses you brother, but were also lookin forward to fishing the pacific !

[@RyanMorie]

Landshark Fishing miss you boys already! Looks like we’re gonna have to plan a meetup in the Pacific, maybe with Morning Tide??? 🧐

[@MrSki-tyvm]

I built a frame and used small wheel barrel wheels. I also used velcro and a seat cushion which really was pretty great. Less stuff to carry, perfect to sit and do rigging. I also carry some frozen bottles and thermometer so I can get the water temp back down during long hot days.

[@RadReelingFishing]

Good job. I made one like this a while ago. One thing about using a cooler is during the summer months you can drop a couple of frozen water bottles in there to cool the water down and it will stay cool because it's a "cooler" and the bait stays alive much longer.

[@Fishing_With_Essex]

Bonus tip, sometimes tackle stores will have what is called a "check valve", which is just a little cylinder shaped valve that you place in between the tubing that goes from the bubbler to the stone to prevent water from going back into the bubbler.

[@eternalabyzz9386]

so its like a different tubing for the bubbler ?

[@sfcmmacro]

One recommendation is a lip or edge to help keep the cooler from sliding off the cart... when it’s full of water it’s going to be real heavy and the bungee cords will not be enough, especially going up/down inclines or over bumps.

[@Army06Wife]

Can not wait to make this for my husband! He’s been dying for one! Thank you so much!

[@RyanMorie]

Glad I could help a little!

[@narelleclaybrook9988]

G'day From Australia I so loved this video I'm a newbie Just came across this on youtube and I have a cooler in my garden shed Think this is a awesome idea

[@XtremeH18]

Great video! Thank you for sharing! 👍🏻

[@isaacmunguia1904]

Thanks you so much for share your knowledge for keep live the bait for that system!!

[@louisathaiday2549]

Who would've thought of using an esky/cooler to put your live bait in it, enjoyed watching your video, will definitely give it try on a little esky, for my bait fish. 😀👋👍🎣

[@cheesegrits196]

I built something very similar. Only one bubbler but I added a small lawn mower battery hooked to a small bilge pump. On that line I added an inline filter filled with aquarium charcoal inside a piece of pantyhose. If you can keep it cool bait will last a lot longer. The charcoal absorbs the urea that the fish put out. This is what kills them quick! I have had pinfish last for 5 days, no problem!

[@RyanMorie]

cheesegrits196 that’s genius!

[@FinsNFeathersOutfitters]

Love the videos man can’t wait to see what you post in Japan! Semper Fi brotha

[@RyanMorie]

🍻🇺🇸

[@EvieSoto]

Thank u for ur service. 🇺🇸

[@jorgecorona5769]

[@danhealyeverythingoutdoors7105]

Great job !

[@keanutavares2678]

Omg this was so helpful my bubble air thing broke in like 3 weeks cuz it got wet from rain

[@grujica81]

I'm giving you a thumbs up just for the comment on Walmart. And the video is excellent

[@somsanshuntingdogs4045]

Very good video. Thorough information.

[@RyanMorie]

Thank you!

[@bxbmbr766]

New subscriber love the channel you sound like a sailor!

[@megamattoutdoors7648]

Just subscribed. Your buddy Vic was right. Awesome job man

[@RyanMorie]

Matt Irwin happy to have you brother!

[@Jredding352]

Nice video man

[@RyanMorie]

Thank you

[@michaelbeasley5311]

Cool I personally would have hit some garage sales to look for a cheap wagon but good deal

[@BeeEpiclivinglife]

I gave it a like for the That's what she said comeback lol

[@RyanMorie]

Hahaha, forgot I put that in this video!

[@MidniteClubII]

RIGHT ON.

[@RyanMorie]

MidniteClubII thanks for watching brother 👊🏼

[@jaibo1313]

Need to use a bait net to keep bait hardy. Never know when someone has chemicals like sunscreen or bug repellant on their hands which contaminates the water. 3M command strips actually make a locking holder for mops/brooms/brushes that you could mount fo the lid and it would be good to go!

[@RyanMorie]

jaibo1313 great idea!

[@Michaeljordan147]

Dope

[@beerrun9961]

should get an aquarium air stone the length of the cooler they work great and u could get by with one aerator

[@motomizfit2892]

Only thing I would’ve done different is go to harbor freight and bought that cheap metal mesh wagon instead because it has alil bit larger wheels and there also rubber so it would be quite but other than that I definitely like the vid and how you built it!

[@gregdavies6717]

As a side note the air stone only gives surface movement for gas exchange between ammonia and oxygen so in essence you could have it at the top. but great video..

[@TheNy615]

Hey man I wanted to tell you next time you go up to New York go to Montauk or anywhere on the southern state or sunrise highway there’s beaches all up and down there you can really hook up into some 40 to 50 pound striper is my personal PB was 72 inches at 47 1/2 pounds he was kind of skinny if you ask me Grant you this was back in the 90s but I’m pretty sure the way New York is with there fishing regulations on stripers that there still some pretty big cows out there

[@jackofalltrades8353]

Nice if added price of that stuff.Okinawa? I spent my rotation at Camp Hansen. Awesome scuba diving there too!

[@jonathanwatler8936]

improvised engineering!

[@hookzsettv4842]

I use something similar, went to Petco (or any pet store) got a flat cylinder air stone and got double the bubbles. Awesome vid

[@RyanMorie]

HookzSet TV good idea!

[@rakeshmaharaj389]

Great video...Juno...Neede dto ask u do u use saltwater ....in ure live bait well.. Raks ..South Africa

[@kkkorie123]

Nice emt straps. You must do some electrical

[@ivoe6962]

What do u use to drill a hole to fit the hose to have bubbles?

[@lonniehall9006]

Wrap lead around the stone where hose attaches and it will lay on bottom better

[@eternalabyzz9386]

yep i do that too more secured as well

[@10thumper1970]

THAT IS SOOO MESCANIZED!!!!

[@BalochGabol]

Did you use salt water or sweet water bro. Thx.

[@41_aas90]

I would of put the air pill bigger so there is more air in the live well

[@Epiites.r6]

I did the same thing but with a 2 gallon bucket and only one aerator

[@bigchief1658]

How many crookers before they die and can you over night the live bait

[@allanreager6560]

If you close the lid will they die or just get oxygen from the aerators?

[@vinmad6669]

#RN4L ------LOVE UR VIDEOS...... THANKS.....KEEP DOIN IT............ TIGHT LINES N HARD D#&K....... THANKS AGAIN.................GREAT VIDEO......... SHOUT OUT LAWSON N JON B...........

[@lordmauldar4643]

I too feel like a terrible person every time I shop at Walmart

[@darnsmall]

How long can you keep the bait in there alive for?

[@ismaeela2]

How long does your mullet stay alive in there?

[@RicardoHernandez-ei6wc]

Blige pump with 12v battery

[@musicaddikt1]

how much hours these box pumps work with those batteries?

[@carlosalonso3019]

Around how much did it cost

[@antwanjones679]

Look looking at that kid get hooked on a big fish

[@olsoutdoors1757]

When I bought my aerator that rubber came in a coil how do you make it straight so it stops floating to the top

[@nathanhill6042]

Stretch it for a while then put a clean rock on it

[@techcrazy7588]

will this work on a boat ??

[@aloishermida3381]

How long you think the fish last there

[@inletreg4844]

finishes building custom baitwell with twin commercial aerator pumps powered by a car battery. Finally pulled up to spot... *forgets cast net* P.s, thank you for your service🇺🇸 Hopefully you’ll pick up some sweet Japanese reels while stationed over there

[@RyanMorie]

Inlet Reg ahhhh that sucks! And thank you brotha!

[@italkwafflez]

What size hole for the drill bit into the cooler

[@RyanMorie]

Couldn’t tell ya, I just went as close the the size of the tubing as I could get.

[@RushMayhemIV]

How do you catch bait on the pier? I am new to here!

[@RyanMorie]

Russell Schell check a video I posted a few weeks ago titled “Strong Fish Almost Rips rod out of my hand.” I give an explanation in the beginning of that video

[@RushMayhemIV]

Thanks man! Very grateful or you and your videos! Also thank you for your service!

[@noahthoms3577]

for most of the the baits you would catch off of the pier you would use and inexpensive rig called the sabiki

[@RushMayhemIV]

Thank you! Found a video where it shows how to set it up and even use small chunks of gulp plastic worms as bait!

[@wesleycrisco281]

My aunt caught the world record Virginia Mullet

[@wesleycrisco281]

Thx

[@sergiomontada8469]

Are you staying in Japan?

[@olsoutdoors1757]

Sorry my mistake you mentioned it in the vid

[@patrickxxaloyoxx5314]

Make me one

[@jaylu5602]

All that work and drilling and cart in the end it’s the same process as everyone else at the PIER...just a normal aerator bubble ice box all will die after a few hours if you don’t change out the water... unless like this video if you have 5-7 baits in there you don’t have to worry about water temperature, ammonia, and filter out the poops...

[@peterferguson5127]

Why the Chevy logo? Lol

[@heatedheavy407]

Convert it to a USB and use a power pack for more output and longer life and no more buying batteries

[@rubenhernandez8938]

that's what she said that was funny....

[@marybenward3952]

ORTUECK

[@Flintbeats]

Are we gonna ignore the number of ppl on that pier?

[@christophervela5447]

That's what she said 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@damiangomez6083]

Man I understand using stuff you have at home but cmon dude lol. WIRING !? and look at those hinges you made 😂 could’ve done it a little bit cleaner

[@michaelkolinski]

Everything is just a bit too CLOSE!!!

[@TaylorRobinson93]

Yeah no… Guys you need a circular tank for them to swim around in constantly, not a squared shaped because the bait tend to go into the corners and start dying off. Also, after a very short time in a square tank you’ll notice their fins start turning pink and once that happens they’re no where near as good of bait, where-as in a circular tank they’ll retain their colour. Helps massively if there’s nothing in there for them to rub against as well, so tape down or super glue everything in your tank. Thank me later guys an girls.

[@chrisstearnsmusic]

Why not just buy a cooler that has wheels and a handle?

[@shamrock241r8]

You would still be short the space for a bucket and with what he has built he could also add a few short PVC tubes for rod holders.

[@RyanMorie]

Meant to mention it in the vid but it slipped my mind! When you’re moving baits from place to place with almost all wheeled coolers you have to tilt it. Tilting a cooler full of water will spill it everywhere and force the baits to knock into each other more than necessary. You could definitely use a wheeled cooler if that’s what you have but I decided to go a different direction in this instance!

[@selbymoreau8761]

Ego fu king my ear hole

[@digitalcryptocapital3227]

You lost me at Walmart

[@lynkpaul33]

Come on dude, you lived in America, you didn't have to be so cheap and untidy. Also, if you ever get the idea to do this again, change those dolly wheels to some bigger and thicker rubber wheels so you don't get thrown off the pier before you get to fishing with all the damn noise that cart makes. Think about what you're doing and how it affects others. It's good to teach your children how to do something not only safely but right. You don't have to be a professional but try to be a perfectionist in anything you do and your kids will learn the proper way to do things from you......as well as any followers you may have. Don't take this as criticism, take it as motivation to do better and be considerate to others.

[@nicklouis9009]

Terrible job...
