Just a thought on keeping your caught bait. Try making a bait basket like the one Richard Gene uses. It’s cheap to make and works like a champ. All it take is a plastic toy basket, some time drilling holes in it and some rope, zip ties and a pool noodle. It really easy to empty your cast net into it, and it’s suspended in the lake so the shad aren’t stressed like they are in a bait tank.
He shows how to make one in a dedicated video on YouTube. Just search Richard Gene Fishing Machine and “How to make a floating live bait bucket”.
