AN EASILY MADE LIVE BOX
By E. H. COULARS
There are many different styles of good live boxes. A very handy one can be made in a short time if you happen to have an old packing case and an auger. Cleat the top of the case for a cover and hinge it with a couple of bits of leather strap if you have nothing better. Get a couple of rough logs and nail one on either side of the box as shown in the diagram to serve as floats. Put through the spikes to hold these log floats, from the inside. With the auger bore holes in sides, ends and bottoms to provide for circulation of water. Put a hasp on the cover and the job is done. Just anchor this box anywhere that the wave action will not batter it to pieces. When you want to take out your fish don’t bother trying to net them. Just drag the box ashore. The water will drain out as fast you pull it up and then you can reach in and pick out what fish you want with your hands. Set the box adrift again and the rest of the fish in it will be none the worse, of course, for their momentary air bath.
