Great question!!
I'll do that when the bait moves out to the main. But it's very handy to be able to catch bait in your slip if the weather is bad and the bait is there. Plus, I'll usually catch enough to set up two tanks. That means I only need to catch bait one night and I can set it all up in my slip as I go. no over crowding one tank to haul them back to the secondary tank so being at the slip to set up the second tank is another plus. Also, the floating lights do not typically do as well as the lights we use in slips. But there are newer lights that can out perform the crappie lights and they can be used over the side of a boat. Look up http://hydroglow.com/ for those type options if you are ever interested.
