[QUOTE="Specknreds, post: 169956, member: 801"] One other thing you might consider is most stock aluminum livewells are square. The corners create dead pockets. Most fish will nose into the corners. My bay boat is rigged for tournament redfishing and has a oval live release well. Offshore fisherman learned years ago that by making livewells with little or no corners will keep large baits alive for longer periods. They would gang up in the corners. A long time ago, I saw a video of a square livewell and they dropped dye in it. You could see the water in the middle mixing and the corners stayed clear for a long time. Another thing I noticed about my release well was the inlet shoots the water to the left along the wall creating a whirlpool effect (no stagnant water anywhere). [/QUOTE]
