i set up a cooler with a livewell pump inside of it going to a spraybar i mounted inside the cooler. i keep the lid on it but cracked open. along with a couple frozen bottle of water it keeps herring alive for literally days and days. sure i'll lose one or two here or there, but no big die offs. i'm pretty sure i've had them over a week that way.

i think the spraybar does a much better job than a bubble aerator. if it's hot out, with a bubble aerator you transfer the heat from the air to the water a lot faster, heat up the water and that kills the herring.
