Thanks guys. That makes a lot of since when it comes my troubles with keeping lake bait. Honestly i had no idea about how nice a bait tank could be and the details involved. That makes a ton of sense. I really appreciate the time you guys put into your responses thank you.

Stripernut i would be interested in some names of good local guides. We stay at Jamestown so around there would be great. Still trying to figure out when i can get back down this winter but i think it is time to see how other people do it. Understanding the whys would be good for me. If PM is a visitor message i can do that. If not i am not exactly sure how to PM but with look around and try and figure out.
