    Default Igloo Cube Bait Cooler


    I got bored tonight and built a bait cooler. I used a 12qt Igloo Cube. I like that it has a compartment in the lid. I used an atwood 500gph live well pump to keep from adding heat with an aerator during the summer. I also added latch eyes for bungees, an accessory plug with a 3 amp fuse and a picture hanger bracket for the net.

    With Prefers Shiners Buying all the Shiners and leaving none for us ,,, I am setting up a 30 gal Aquarrium in the storage shed with under gravel filter and the large Recirc pump. I took out an 18 gal aquarium because I lost too many shiners in the small tank... All the Dead minnows were fed to the Chickens --- Chicken Fight !!!!! I like the Cooler for the boat

    Wasn't too expensive. Chest was 16.99, 4.99 accessory plug and pump 24.49. My other set up 29.99 aqua life and frabill 8qt bucket 12.99. They cost the same. One good thing is it wont get knocked over. If you make one mount pump on side. Back mount isn't balanced when empty. All it is missing is a cdc decal.

    Its 34.99. No wonder it rang up wrong. It was in the wrong spot. I showed the girl and got it for 24.99.
