the above ground pool has been neglected too long. lots of frogs and tadpoles and bugs so i think im chemically ok

but how to stock? ordering etc is out.

i have access to a reasonable supply of small large mouth bass (6 to 12 in or so) as well as blue gills about a 20 min drive away

i can get some big catfish but it is an hour drive

when i am ready to do this what will i need to get the beasties home? no boat involved so no livewell etc. do have 5 gal buckets and a large cooler. keep in mind florida summer which means hot water temps and heat in general

thanks!

You should get a 12v converter for your car. Then pick up a couple air pumps. Get two or three 5 gallon buckets and a couple air stones. You should be good that way.

A portable water bubbler, normally battery operated, should be placed inside the cooler.........
