Had a good idea.....I think.

I was thinking of some way to keep shad alive in my livewell. They are pretty dumb little critters, and will just crowd into a corner until they suffocate, no matter how good the circulation is in the livewell (mine is really good...I can keep big largemouth alive in it all day long).

The problem is, the shad need a round or oval tank, so they keep going in a circle, as opposed to sticking their noses in a corner.

I was thinking of some sort of flexible plastic sheet, that I could roll up tight enough to put down through the livewell door, but that would then spring out to form a circular divider within the rectangular livewell. The divider would of course have many small holes in it for good water flow through it.

This thing would basically be a temporary divider. Taking it out would help in cleaning out shad scales and what not.

Anyone familiar with anything I could get my hands on easily and fairly inexpensively?
