I've got a 16 foot aluminum boat, and would like to carry live bait with me. I don't really have the skill or money to put in a through-hull system, so I was looking at some of the portable systems and the home made cooler type systems. I'll mostly be using shrimp, small fantail mullet, and greenbacks for inshore fishing (Tampa Bay and the flats).
From what I've read, aerators are for shrimp and really small bait, and probably wouldn't do well for greenbacks. I'd like to hear from anyone with any experience with the Engel Live Bait Cooler or anything similar for keeping white bait. I like the added option of being able to lug it around with me when I'm shore fishing.
My alternative is to build a cooler with a spray bar like the Super Saver 12V Kit, but that would be much heavier.
What do you guys use?
Thanks,
Brian
