re: Live well - Keeping bait alive

Is an aerator enough to keep redfish alive if I ever fish a tournament? Just got a new boat that isn't set up with a livewell. I want to set it up with one in front of the console, but I don't think I'll be able to set it up to circulate fluid. I've never tried to keep redfish alive before, so I really don't know what it takes.

Man... Keeping them alive can be very difficult, it really does take trial and error, it took me a full year of tourney fishing to get a method I am confident it.
To be honest a large ice chest (100+ quart) works really well, get a good protable areation system and a back up pump.
Once in the boat be prepared to babysit good fish (>25") by holding them up right for about 15 minutes once you put them in the box. They tend to want to go belly up because they fight to the death to get off and exaust all energy. They are not like a bass, you can not throw them in a live well and forget about them.
