Baitwells are a hot topic. No disrespect to reel or anyone else but I could not agree more with whatknot. It may have something to do with the water temperature or the bait. Greenbacks (threadfin herring) are my live bait of choice. They like swimming in circles with a steady flow of fresh saltwater, look at them wrong or put too many in the livewell and they are dead. My experience with mud minnows is that they require next to nothing for survival, shrimp, porgies, pinfish too just don't let the water get too warm. I ain't saying it can't be done but I never saw a recirculating system that would keep greenies alive.
As for the in deck livewell, hate it. The space there is good for fish on ice. I would say beer but I like easier access to the beer  . |
Must admit never had greenies in my tank although we used to get 'em at the bouys in my friends catamaran...kept 'em alive w/no problem in his tank, but I would like to try 'em in mine sometime just to see...a C-Note says it'll keep 'em happy!!...
