Looking at Engel rechargeable aerator bait coolers, but other ideas welcome. Do you recommend a 7.5 or 13 qt for ice fishing with perch size minnows for one or two people? I hand pull my sled so don’t want to go oversize to keep weight and bulk down, but have enough bait for a day.
I prefer the 13 and the lithium rechargeable is a must. That non lithium is a joke once you get the lithium engle. I have 2 13s and a 7.5 the 7.5 only comes out when early and late and I’m pulling by hand. I gave my fishing buddy a 7.5 a couple years ago and he still uses the hell out of that thing all season. And perch size minnows ? I assume you mean medium and large suckers ?
If by “perch sized minnows” you mean the size of minnow you’d use to fish for perch (fatheads, Rosie’s, rainbows); then the 7.5 qt is the perfect size.
Absolutely get the Engle Pro model with the lithium!
