| I've been adding pure Oxygen to my bait well and it darn sure helps. I don't use a real regulator, just a small valve. I turn the valve on for a few seconds every few minutes and my bait kicks in the afterburner. I add oxygen in my yak and in both boats. The entire set-up costs about $35 and uses disposable oxygen cylinders. If anybody is interested in seeing it, I'll atke a photo or two.

| "If anybody is interested in seeing it, I'll atke a photo or two. " Photos would be nice. Do you use a fish tank "Airator" (spelling?) to turn the flow into a foam?
WOW!!!!! WHAT A RIDE.

| I can say one thing. A friend has a commercially built oxygenator for his baitwell. You run that thing and you can't keep the pinfish in the well. They jump around like they are on afterburner. A 3" pinfish will pull a cajun thunder float around like a skiboat until his oxygen high wears off.

| I am looking for the paperwork on this gizmo so I can tell you what to look for. The Oxgen system is intended for oxygenating beer in the brewing process. I'm using a sintered stainless steel distributor similar to an aquarium airstone. "Tiny bubbles in the beer" and all that stuff. My livewell pump is on a timer. Occasionally, when I see the pump stop, I give the tank a few seconds of pure oxygen. Cigar minnows pull drag on my kingfish rigs when I hook a fresh one one on. Yes, there are requirements for Oxygen on boats. The cylinder must be secured is one of them. I keep the cylinder in the splash well of my boat about 1 foot from my bait tank.

| I couldn't find the paperwork but here is a photo and a link to the place where I bought it. http://www.annapolishomebrew.com/shopcoolstuff.asp 
You might get into home brewing while you are at it. I did a little "Creek Bank" fishing today. I fished for 5 minutes before the bite then caught this 20# Black Drum which I released. Caught on half of a large Blue Crab. 
Another guy caught (and kept this one) which weighed a little over 40.
