To go along with what TubeN2 said, even that isn't good enough some times. Especially a bait fish like Menhaden(pogeys), they take alot of TLC. For one, just having a round live well isn't good enough. It needs to be a "long sweeping" cylindrical live well. When their nose starts turning pink, you can kiss them good by with in the hour. No square or hard turns is the first trick. Next, like TubeN2 was saying, constant supply of fresh water. The best thing to do is get yourself a five gallon bucket and drill a bunch of holes in it, secure the lid, and attach a rope to it so you can lower it in the water and keep it there so fresh water is constantly flowing through. Something like mullet minnow or mud minnows will stay alive all day in something like a Flowtroll bucket. (the big yellow thing with a hinged lid) Give us more info as to the senario you're fishing, and then we can better help you. (I.E. Peir, boat, bank, etc...)
