Live bait tank?

Postby PST9 » Sat Feb 06, 2016 7:29 am

I'm looking at putting one of these on my boat for tuna this coming summer. I am curious how you guys have yours rigged and what pumps and tanks you chose for your setups. Thanks!

Good morning P,
I'll reach out to our friends at Defiance Marine as they easily have the deepest blue water "bloodlines" in the industry with their excellent mid-deck bait tanks.
Stay tuned as I'm guessing that we'll soon hear back from them!

Here's a photo I stole from Tommy Donlin that shows his Defiance bait tank. The nice thing about the Defiance tanks is that they are much bigger than the rest of the removable tanks you'll find out there. That means you can hold more bait thumbup

A defiance bait tank would definitely be nice to have, unfortunately I don't think I have quite enough space for one. I've been looking at the kodiak proflow removable bait tanks and kodiak transom mount bait pump. Since the limited space in the cockpit, I think a kodiak on the offshore platform would work best. I thought I had seen that tank on Nellys boat in a tuna video somewhere?

Hey P,,
I'm getting a 50gallon Defiance Tank next month with the custom tackle tray lid that allegedly holds a beverage too...
When I get it I'll blog the heck out of the installation.
Good luck! cheers
