Default Re: how to keep live bait alive?

I have a 20 gallon tank in my garage I set up each year. Run an aquaclear filter and change the filter media once a month. No heater or air stones.

At the end of each trip I bring the unused killies home in the boats live well and dump them in the tank. Never an issue keeping dozens alive all season. Feed whatever leftover bread is in the house.

Fwiw I ve found putting some kind of substrate in the tank helps keep the baits color darker compared to a plain glass bottom.
