Abstract: A mounting bracket assembly adapted for releasably mounting a bait pump to the transom of boat below the waterline, wherein the mounting bracket assembly comprises a tapered mounting bracket that is fixedly secured to the transom and a pump support carriage which is removably attached to the mounting bracket by means of a flexible latching tongue that is integrally formed as part of the pump support carriage, the bait pump being fixedly secured within a cup-like receptacle so as to be readily removed with the pump support carriage.

Abstract: An improved bait tank or bag which can maintain bait over a prolong period by injecting water in a circular motion in the upper portion of the tank and withdrawing it near the bottom. The flow of water in this manner flushes scales, feces and other debris out of the tank or bag. It also eliminates bubbles, which are harmful to bait. The water level in the tank or bag is adjusted by an extension of the outlet pipe which rises to the desired level of the water in the tank or bag. Interior fill pipes are eliminated, leaving an unobstructed smooth surface on the interior of the tank or bag.
