Live Well Question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

FishNinjaY · 04-18-2013, 09:08 AM

I made a livewell with the pet food box, worked great until my battery died. Those anchovies all died pretty quick. When you have a bunch of fish in there, swimming around, getting bumped into walls and each other, I think they consume oxygen pretty quickly out of the water. At least that's my theory.. I use the Johnson 500gph pump with a 12V battery, and timer.. and it works great.
