Keeping squid alive
#8
i go kingfishing all the time, we have a live bait tank about 80cm by 60cm, we have had 12 squid in the tank at one time they were in there for about five hours, we have a bildge pump on all the time pumping fresh water threw it, some also ink the tank when put in if they havnt inked in the water first but the pump eventually fluhes it all out again and the seem very happy, they stay clear in colour and only change colours when we pull them out and put a hook in them, as soon as there in water again there back to there normal selves.

We have even had them down for live bait and nothing has touched them put them back in the tank moved elsewhere no kings and then released them and they just swim off, so get a bildge pump ours pumps 360 gallons an hour and its fine for us.

good luck
