I would like to find a long or 2 smaller soft side coolers to put in my livewell. I would add ice packs and/or ice slush for keeping crappie cold. Anyone with experience or suggestions? Puncture resistant would be a plus :biggrin

Sounds like a disaster to me, I think the fins would puncture a soft sided cooler. I had one that was punctured by a cap on a beer bottle, it was only a couple weeks old
Correct. I hope that lining it with reusable ice blocks will prevent that. :donoQuote:

I also use my OJ bottles--if one starts leaking, I just recycle it and get another one from the recycling bin or just finish the next bottle in the fridge.Quote:
