Thread: Cool Water for the Livewell

Warm water not good, but I used to have more trouble with fishies' air
bladders blowin up, making em lay on their side and croak.
Tried the needle thing, but never quite got the hang of it.

I never put more than 9 in the livewell at one time.
If I am keeping fish I put them in the deadwell or "cooler"

Rocket - The whole reason for all the extra effort is so I can catch and release a healthy fish. Satdoc just will not go for me telling him what they weighed on my scales on the lake. Will you Satdoc?

Gallon milk jugs I tried and I think they beat my fish to death running down the lake.

I am going to try it and I am adding oxygen today also. They may have it so good in my boat they want me to catch them.

That'll work Ray, or you can use a bilge pump....either one will work.

frozen pop bottles

I50 QT cooler with the keep alive brand pumps have work for me .I use less ice since the cooler is insulated. but it also takes up alot of room.
