The time of the year is very important in determining where you will find bait. Early spring and into the summer the bait is usually found near the flats and passes. Asking around at your local bait house and talking with other anglers is also a good place to start. Lastly, in order to keep the bait alive and in good shape, you will need a live well. This live well should be big enough to hold the amount of bait you intend to use for the entire day.
Square tanks cause the bait to nose up into the corners and die because the are stuck there.
This stops the flow of water through their gills and they suffocate. If possible have the tank so that it constantly pumps fresh water into it. These are some of the things you will need to know and have in order to live bait fish. As with anything, the more you do it the better you will become at it. All rights reserved.
