livewell

[Jimmie]

Ok fellas I have been working on my tinny for a while now and have fished in it a few times. Now I am interested in fishing some small tournaments with my grandson. They will be bass/catfish tourneys on a city lake. My question is whta would be a minimum size for a livewell. I already know how I will build it but I"m just not sure how big. Any help would be greatly appreciated.


thanx , Jimmie

will a 50 or 60 quart cooler and a fish saver aerator not suffice?? ive used that setup many times... i actually used a 100 qt cooler... i just fill it about half way with a big cup, hook the aerator up and its ready... couple times a day, scoop a cup or 2 of water out, and put a few back in fresh...sounds complicated i guess, but not really...

This is the set up in my Savage
It picks up water as your traveling and it runs out of the overflow 3inches bellow the top
There is a drain hole at the bottom with a bung
If your still for any extended length of time you turn the electric air pump on
Boat is in pieces at the moment as I'm doing a rebuild

Thanx for the help guys. I've been looking at a 100 qt Igloo. The thing about it is it has a small lid at one end to drop the fish in without having to open the big lid. 50/60 might be enough but I like the idea of a larger cooler with less water. Again , thanx guys. Maybe I can post some pics of a winning catch !


thanx , Jimmie

thats exactly why i like the 100 quart...i like that small hatch...and just the fact that they have more room to chill...
