How to keep shad alive and cheap bait tank.
Спорт
In this video I show how I keep shad alive and how I made a small 10 gallon bait tank for my small boat. I fill the 10 gallon cooler up with water then treat it with Gjuice, non iodized salt, shad keeper, and ammo lock. All these help remove all harsh chemicals from city water and toxins in the water once fish make waste in it. I made a cheap bait tank out of a round cooler from Lowes and aerator from Academy Sports. With it being round it helps keep the shad alive.
To keep shad alive I use:

Probably 2 or so but need to put lot of ice in it here in summer.
That looks pretty good. Will it keep threadfin shad alive as well as gizzard shad? Do you always use tap water or can you use lake water as well? Thanks

Sorry for late reply just noticed comment. It will keep threadfins alive but gizzards do better. You could use either but fresh cold water has worked better for me, the colder the better.

It's illegal to transport lake water in most states. Know your regulations.
It looks like all the ingredients have specific amounts except the salt, unless I wasn’t paying attention. It looked like you put around 2-3 tablespoons in it

I usually don't do an exact but Gjuice tells you on the bottle and for salt rule of thumb is for every 10 gallons 1 cup of salt.
How many gizzard shad can you put at one time without killing them

20-30 or so but if you over fill it does kill some.
How long do the shad live for?

If I don't put too many in there they last whole trip or longer but right now in the heat gotta keep water cold.
Well I tried to catch and keep shad alive and the shad I caught were American gizzard shad but in my net those fuckers keep dying after 10 seconds of getting caught for no reason just dying after swimming a couple times so I got mad and just threw one on the dock 😂 any tips ?

What did you put them in after you netted them?
