Homemade Cooler Livewell
I've done a TON of research on homemade livewells out of coolers. Does anybody use one and what do you think? It's purpose will be to hold striper and kitties alive to take home. All LMB will be C&R.
The used boat I am getting does not have a live well, hence me making one.
After the research, I've decided on this...http://www.cabelas.com/aerators-bait...:referralID=NA
Does anybody use a kit like this?

I must not get around much but I can't figure why you would want to carry around fish until the end of the day and then let them go. If you are C&R fish, why not let them go when you catch them?
Let me clarify, I re-read it and didn't explain myself clearly. I will be keeping and taking home striper and trout and catfish. Hence the need for a live well.Originally Posted by Viejo
I think if you get caught with live trout you'll get a ticket
WTF are you talking about?
its VERY illegal to move live trout,
its generally illegal to move most live gamefish fish

yes you did...you explain well...he is a little slow
Just a little FYI on keeping Shad Alive for bait...
ROUND.. !!! Sounds silly but very true....
they cant turn corners well at all and will die off quickly in anything with corners...
5 gal round bucket works great!!!
Also most of the private lakes have Regulations that say "Follow all DFG regulations"
What they enforce is another story.... ?????

OK....I get it now. You don't want to have a live well to keep and then let go your fish after carrying them around all day. You want a live well to keep fish alive longer and then you kill them and take them home. A stringer would be cheaper.
The slow guy...
it is ielegal to take live fish u have to kill them or get fined
