Shad Question

[zeepo]

That sounds like a lot to me for the size of the livewell. One thing I learned was to take a 5 gallon bucket and put the shad in it (with lake water) and leave them sit for about 10 minutes then dip them out and into your livewell. When you first put them in the tank they poop a lot. The concentration of ammonia gets really high and that's what kills a lot of them. I also use a blue liquid that you can get at most sporting good stores. It's called G-juice or something like that. I've had pretty good luck using this method.

Do you the blue liquid in both the 5 gallon holding bucket and the your baitwell?
