Storage compartment for live bait

[Rowl Tyde]

Has anyone rigged up one of their storage compartments as a live bait holder? I fish for flounder sometimes and was thinking about hooking up a drain line to on of my storage compartments (Bullet 20XF) and using a small aerator. Just looking for ideas or suggestions.

Thanks,
Steve

Why not just use the livewell? Or get a small cage to put the bait in then put that in the livewell.....

That's what I was thinking. The flounder's going in the ice chest anyway.

Heres a good tip take a small cooler fill it halfway with ice, wet a small terry cloth towel then lay flat on top of ice. Pour bull minnows on top of towel WITH NO WATER. Ice will slow there heart rate and breathing down they will live all day and become lively as soon as they are put back in water. I have only tried this with bull minnows but its great no chaseing them with hand or net.
