Solder a cigarette lighter connection and a couple of wires to a 12volt globe, Waterproof the whole lot by dipping it into a bitumen type paint, hang it in the water and turn it on. Just Vary the wattage depending how much water you need to heat. And anyway... Where do you plan to catch warm water fish in Melbourne???

Generally water is slow to lose it's heat, I would think the best way if moving fish for just a few hours would be to insulate whatever they are in. |
