Thread: Live Minnow Cooler

I guess I might be the only one who took the bait on the Engel bait cooler and bought one. I went for the 30 qt. (found it cheaper on Ebay through Grizzly Jig than anywhere else) and I'm really impressed. I had heard about the negatives of the noisy aerator. Mine doesn't seem so bad or maybe my hearing is going, so that's why it doesn't bother me!

I bought the big and little ones. Like them a lot but hardly use the big one.

I use the Engel 13 with a Power Bubbles plugged in to my 12v cigarette plug.. When not using for minnows, I use as my fish well with ice..

I have the 7.5qt Engel as well. It kept minnows alive from Friday til monday morning when i released the left overs. Put 7 dozen in mid day friday. Not one died in the cooler.

I use the Marine Metal 12 volt bubbler that has 2 output hoses. Attachment 319337

Thats the exact same one I use. However I didn,t cut out the center. I keep a couple of spare batteries in that compartment.
