Live well question

[ShawnD]

What kind of live well do y'all use. I want to put one in my canoe.thanks Shawn

if it was me and since you said "livewell" not "baitwell" I would make one from a 40-50qt ice chest
Source one that has a good lid that has a latch to keep it shut then get a battery powered aerator and drill a hole in the side just below top rim and stick the aerator tube thru. I say find one with a latch style lid from experience and also use some weatherstripping foam to seal it off - latch helps keep the lid closed and water from splashing into bottom of canoe. This is the cheapest way and probably the safest as alot of aftermarket "baitwells" which would work are taller than wide and that would increase the center of gravity in a canoe and lose stability.
