I build a 6 x 12 wheel house a couple years ago. Decided it would be desirable to add a bit of space when more than 3 of us went fishing together where we could fish without the additional portable hubs. Came up with an idea expanding on the other flip/hubs on the market only this one is attached to my wheel house.
I built an inexpensive prototype where I would just trash it in the event it did not work out. Turns out it worked quite well and now moving forward on a quilted insulated version. I did a provisional patent on the unit and did the attached video in attempt to market the idea. Several are not interested.

Rivergroup, Are you on the east or west side of the lake. When you say before 7am what time you going out? 5am? How deep of water? Just looking for starting point for this coming weekend. Thanks!
As I understand the challenge, there are regulations regarding water pumping and circulation from the lake into holding tanks for minnows. It makes keeping minnows alive and healthy, as a sustainable business, very difficult for lakeshore businesses.
We ran out of minnows and couldn't find any at the bait shops. So we fished with leeches last night and had great success. Just about all of them we caught were 14 - 17 inches. Shallower bays have warmed up and they are in their feeding at dusk.
Shamrock did have rainbows and chubs but their tank broke down. They’re out of the minnow business. River group is right, though. A leech caught a 22” er this morning.
