build a pen out of underground sprinkler tubing and rabbit fence.
If you want to keep them in your livewell and don't want to rewire the boat for battery charger, get a submersible basement pump from homedepot and put it next to the power post on the dock, with the hose going into the livewell.
My live well runs for 4 days straight at a time all summer but I replace the pump with westmarine warrantee every year.
I can leave the 12 volt pump running all night if I want, but I am plugged into shore power with two D8 batteries powering it.

Mike is right on.
Big batteries, good onboard charger plugged into shore power, the right livewell pump that doesn't draw crazy amps, you should be good to run all night.

Paulie the basket or cage over the side won,t work for you ......................... you too far up the cove & the water is too warm ...
It worked when we fished herring / the water was alot cooler & they hadn,t been snagged ;;

Mike, I kinda figured as much. Even eels die when the water warms up way back where I am.

WOW! I didn't realize there was such a big difference up in the cove. Think I lost 1 eel all summer last year. |

good advice here. Just running an household extension cord down the dock to a portable charger is a recipe for problems if left on for any length of time.
The correct way is to have a marine batter charger that passes thru a galvanic isolater then through a marine receptacle and heavy 50amp marine cord to a dock receptacle.
Doing it wrong can cause very rapid erosion of underwater metals. I have seen the drain plug erode to the point of near failure in a VERY short period of time.
Another problem it you may not make any dock friends. The guy next to you could have problems due to your set up if he is plugged in as well.
I don't like leaving pumps on all night but you can, they will burn up eventually esp cheap jabsco pumps but just get a new one per Mikes suggestion. I replace every pump on my boat almost every 2or3 years it seems.

That's thinking!
I miss herring, getting them was almost as much fun as fishing them. |
