Default The 15 min livewell by Nightfisher

Easily make a good sized livewell in around 15 minutes

Parts needed....
1 round plastic "washtub" with the rope handles. -Dollar store
1 20 inch wooden accent table. -Walmart
1 12v portable bucket type aerator -Walmart
1 12 air pump with sttone (optional) -Walmart
1 short bungee cord
3 wire ties
1 short piece of rope.
1 cord switch

I discovered quite by accident that the cheap round accent tables that walmart sells fit nicely as a lid on the chap plastic washtubs commonly found in dollar stores and dept stores. The top is even beveled to rest perfectly on the top. The only real assembly to this portable livewell is driling a hole in the center of the tabletop lid to pass a knoted rope through for a lifting handle, and cutting a bungee and attaching it to one of the rope handles on the wastub. The bungee pulls the ropes across the top and holds it firmlly in place. Remove the mounting brackets for the legs of the table as well. Once the top is rigged all thats needed is to stick the 12v aerator to the bottom hook up the cord switch to one of the wires and cut a little slit to hang the air pump on the side if you want. I also drilled a hole in the rim to hold my bait net. Took me about 15 minutes to assemble. Here are some pics to show how it all goes together.
