Cecil,
I have located a source for 2 pound HSB but must find a way to move them about 140 miles to my ponds...is it foolish to consider doing this myself with some aerators and a tank? Is their such a thing as renting a fish hauler?
I would dearly love to get hold of these HSB. Appreciate any thoughts.
No it is not foolish. I have my own hauling tank that I purchased for about $1000.00 and use it every year although as I said all the driving can be a pain. I couldn't raise the fish I raise without being able to pick them up with my hauling tank.
I mounted my tank to a trailer and as long as I have access to a pickup truck to pull it (wrecked my van pulling a load of stone) I have hauled fish up to 13 hours. I use a freshflow aerator with 0xygen that I rent from a welding supply as a back up.
You could also build your own tank out of marine plywood and coat it with resin.
If you want more specifics on the tank setup email me. It's not rocket science. If you lived closer I'd be glad to loan you my tank and trailer.
