I fished Buchanan and had some "black salties" left over so put 'em in a flow troll and hung them off the dock. Came home with 5 baits and 2 days later they are still alive and kicking good.

I've been seeing some decent bass off my backyard deck lately, so I put out a saltie under a cork and within 30 seconds was ON! Pulled in a 4 pounder.

I found a wholesale black saltie dealer online and am going to order some of these guys - they are awesome. They stay on the hook, stay alive and are super lively.

The cool thing is they stay alive in salt and fresh water.

I'm gonna order about 300 of these guys and build a pen for them next to my dock.

I think you would be better off keeping them in an aerated cooler or something. If you put them in a pen in the lake, you are going to have to deal with turtles, birds, and raccoons raiding your bait.

No creature raids so far. They seem to be doing great. Feeding them dog food and they love it.

And where exactly is your dock?  ;D  GPS coordinates?
