Abstract
An improved bait holding apparatus for fishing including a housing having a first container disposed therein and a second container disposed within the first container. A light source is connected to the housing and the light therefrom is directed towards a side of the first and second containers. Since the sidewalls of the containers are constructed of transparent or translucent materials, the light shines on the bait and also shines out of the top of the containers for facilitating the baiting of a hook. A second light source is connected to the housing for illuminating the area outside of the container and an aeration pump is provided for selectively replenishing the air in water containing live minnows or the like. A mechanism is also provided for easily using power from the battery of a boat or automobile as a substitute for portable batteries disposed within the housing.
