I was talking to a guy in the West Marine store the other day, and we were talking about livewells and keeping bait alive a long time when we fish the Pensacola Int. Billfish Tour. in a few weeks. He told me to put a couple asprin tablets in the baitwell with the bait and it helps sedate them and keep them less stressed. Has anyone ever tried this before, and does it work? I don't want to be the fool that dumps asprin in the livewell and kills all the bait before we are ready to fish with it.

I second the ice thing... it slows their metabolism down a bit......try the asprin on one of your short trips and see what happens to the bait.....My guess is that it wouldn't really do much.....

| You aren't the only one, saw this on another forum: "try throwing a couple of asprins in, it works wonders on minnows( minnows used for crappie fishin) Makes them very lively and live alot longer. A couple in a minnow bucket, so it might take more in a bigger tank.
My buddys laughed at me when i told them, but i talked to one the other day and he said he tried it, and it works very good , since then he does it all the time" Read something about keeping the ammonia down?

Doing a search and boy was it hard to find much of anything...I saw one PRO and one CON reply about a aspirin. If it is that good it would be widely used and all over the Internet.

I have heard of putting the ice in the bait well before to. But I also heard that the chlorine from the ice could kill the fish also.
