Sorry no pics of the build, I'll take some when I build another one.
Just took a jig saw and went around the bottom ring of the sides with the handle, left 2 tabs to keep the handle and trimmed the top ring on the handle part and it fits in my back hatch perfectly

Fish with plastics. I've had some in my boat since last year and they still caught plenty of trout last Sunday in Lake Charles.

That's the ticket!!
It works for me.
Also may want to get some of those Shrimp Saver tablets from Academy. Cost about $3.50. They seem to help too. I use 5 gal. bucket w/ an aerator and lid. Does well for me.

that may be true but we had a "bait well" (5 gal bucket with the aerator) and they were dead in 10 minutes and the lake was slick so they didn't get beat to death. at least it worked.

That's the ticket right there! My set up is real similar to yours and it works awesome. Only thing is, I made a kind of like skirting that fits inside the bucket which gives the shrimp something to cling to, so they don't get wore out sloshing around in the bucket. Also, I take the little frozen water bottles out when I'm running because I've found it to beat em' to death like a wrecking ball if I'm running in rough water. How do you like your Mr. Bubbles? I went thru 2 or 3 of them before I got a Frabill and have been much happier with it. Good set up Shaw, I like it

what are you siliconeing in the bottom? Do you have a pic of inside

SaltyShaw · #35 06-18-2011, 08:59 PM

I siliconed the stirefoam bait well inside the bucket so if water sloshes or spills over your inner liner dosent float up, I don't have pics but I'll build another one and take pics of the build when I get in from offshore
