Livebait tank

[Scope]

G'day, just wondering what is a practical size for a live bait tank to go in my boat. Space for the tank is not a concern, I'm thinking more of ease of grabbing the bait versus not crowding them too much.... It will be a permanent under-floor fixture in the boat

Do people usually make these themselves or buy them pre-made? if so, where from?

Cheers Jono

hey scope i have just made one its 60cm long by 50cm wide and 40cm high with one hose and a universal pump which gets rid of all the water and when all gone it puts more back it. but the down side is the fish go with our water for bout 30seconds each time you refill
