    The problem with this is that sardines, anchovies, squid don't last too long in a bucket. 1/2 hour to 1 hour max.

    Smelt can go all day in a bucket. If you dump out 1/2 the water every hour and replenish it with fresh sea water youll be fine.
    No bubbler needed too but some will disagree on that.

    72nd Street Jetty in LB, bread crumbs, hoop net, and you get your live smelt!

    Grunion make good live or frozen bait too when they are running.
