Cool Water for the Livewell

What you guys think about this idea. I want to pull cool water into the livewell so I can keep my little crappie alive. Since my livewell pump pulls water from the surface it is greater than 80 degrees.
I am thinking of getting a aerator pump adding a 8 foot hose with a small weight on the end and pumping fresh cooler water from down deeper. As long as I stay above the thermocline this should work great. At least in my mind.
I am tired of trying to put frozen bottles and stuff in the well to keep them cool.

sounds like it would be easier to put frozen water bottles in there.

Just remember to pick it up before ya move or ya might be dragin it down the lake!!! :eek:

Try Catch N Release

C&R on crappie ? Hard enough to catch a keeper now. NOTTTT Gonnnaaa Happpeeennn! If its over 12 it gonna get et.

I was gonna try that in some of the saca events I used to fish, but like
so many other idees I get, just never got roundtuit :)

It sure looks like it would work.

hot grease is their next stop

Be easier to keep your existing pump off and wire in a recirculating pump then just add fewer bottles. Maybe a little c&r and tour good to go.

In an 8 hour day you'll need to ad some fresh water every 3 hours though. Maybe 2 hours on a crowded well.
