A system is provided that promotes ram ventilation for aquatic animals stored therein. The system includes a horizontally oriented container that maintains fluid flow in one predominant direction with a first end of the horizontally oriented container receiving a first volume of fluid and a second end expelling a second volume of fluid. The second end is provided at an opposite side of the horizontally oriented container than the first end. A slot is provided that extends along a lengthwise direction of the horizontally oriented container between the first and second ends. The slot is positioned along an upper portion of the horizontally oriented container. For example, if the horizontally oriented container is tube-shaped, the slot is provided at an uppermost point on the circumference of a horizontally oriented tube directly across from a point on the tube that contacts an underlying surface such a transom of the fishing vessel.

A portable bait container with adjustable luminosity has an openable casing to access a receptacle for storing baits. Casing is provided with a handle to conveniently carry and handle container from one place to another. Container further includes a first illuminating device that illuminates surrounding and hence enable user to easily view the ground and search for fishing baits such as worms or night-crawlers. Actuating switch is provided on handle for its easy access which actuates and de-actuates first illuminating device. Intensity of first illuminating device is controlled by using dimmer adjuster that enables user to manipulate intensity and hence provides maximum opportunity for collecting fishing baits. Container is portable, easy to handle by a single user to perform various bait collection operations and has adjustable luminosity for viewing surrounding at desired light intensity and thus reduces opportunity loss during collection of fishing baits.

An assembly for gently aerating a live bait tank using a portable air compressor as an air flow source, the assembly comprising an air diffusion end and air source connection end, the ends separated by a length of tubing for providing air from an air source to the diffusion end wherein the diffusion end is removably submerged in the live bait tank and the air source connection end is configured for removably coupling to a source of forced air.

A modular apparatus and system for managing the temperature of a livewell or other container housing water, and an associated method for installing the same. The system featuring a self-contained fluid line in communication with a first fluid line, which is in fluid communication with the livewell. The system further can comprise an output module capable of outputting a signal related to the system. The modular apparatus generally featuring the system and an enclosure. The enclosure may comprise a user interface and be capable of being located in areas with limited available space. The enclosure can be located adjacent the livewell and detachably coupled to a fishing vessel. The modular apparatus and system can further comprise a condenser, which can be a forced air coil unit, a liquid-cooled unit, or a cold plate heat sink unit. The method of installing generally comprises removing existing livewell hose and providing the system.

A live bait well has a body member formed from closed cell foam neoprene and has a generally U-shaped clip that extends upwardly from an upper edge of the body member, proximate the back, wherein the clip is used to attach the device to the waistband of a user's pants. A liner is removably disposed within an interior space of the body member to help protect the interior of the body member. The body member is formed from two similar sections that are joined together at inwardly directed side edges of each section so as to form a stiffening rib that runs between the first side and the opposing second side along the closed bottom. The open top of the body member is closed using a magnetic closure system.
