I've always wondered about doing this.

I'd say it depends on the conditions. If it is a canal full of boats and docks, I'd say the water will be too polluted. You may have success for a while, but just think of what would happen if you sucked up some spilled fuel, soap, oil , ect.

I've seen people around here do that to run live wells for bait fish and lobsters. It may work with the tougher type fish, but I would think delicate or reef type stuff wouldn't last long.

Just my 2¢
