[QUOTE="gatorbaiter, post: 71621, member: 999"] I have cut many livewells in the ice, and never had them escape... yet. I drill four holes about a foot deep close together and chip the ice out in between with my chisel. Cut one almost through and pop a little hole in the bottom. If it gushes in your hole is to big. It can be a pain to get the fish out later so I sometimes drill another hole a few inches away and chip a little channel over to fill the livewell. Then just block the channel and bail out the livewell at the end of the day. I've had over twenty northerns in one of these and never lost one yet. Just remember to mark your hole with a branch or something like you would a spear hole. When you have to knock your fish over the head when you fillet them you know you've got some nice, fresh, delicious fillets coming. [/QUOTE]
