  • Patent number: 6836998
    Abstract: The apparatus includes outer and inner walls that define an first container and an second container in fluid communication with each other. The second container includes an aperture formed therein with an elongate hose passing through the aperture for cooperating with a pump that selectively exhausts and compresses air into the apparatus to thereby cause water to pass through the inner and outer cavities via the hose. Advantageously, when air is introduced into the first container, water is introduced into the second container and, when air is removed from the first container, water is removed out of the second container to thereby make it easier for a user to remove live bait from the second container. A seine may be positioned within the second container for assisting to disburse air bubbles around a perimeter thereof. In addition, the water inside the apparatus can be aerated when air is introduced into first container while the lid is at an open position.
