Default RE: New Cooler Float

Thanks Fishermon aka Abe for going out for the sea trial. Findings: Pros: Floats good in skinny water, Has a ton of room for beer/fish, battery,Not too heavy to tow in the water. Cons: Heavy with a battery in it 2 Man carry from the truck, CG off with the battery in the back (battery needs to move fwd 6 inches (didnt have a bag of ice in the front should be good then)Future adjustments: Hard wire 2 12v dc plugs on the top of the cooler with internal alligator clips, Add wheels for easy towing on the ground, I plan to try it with a large rubbermaid container. Add some clipr to hold gigs and lights for transport. It didnt fit all the way in my sport trac, but will fit in a (Mans sized truck). Note the test was done in real shallow water, tide was real low. No Flatties, But the good news was a tone of real small bait-fish. SOON! "If you build it they will come"

Thanks

That looks great to me. I am new in Pensacola and looking for someone to teach me how to gig for the flat fish. I have been reading and looking at all the pictures. Even looking for some to take me and my wife out and show us how to gig. Paying our way is no problem.. Email me at Big.Trafficman@gmail.com
