The ice is about 3' thick, I drilled 18 holes all around 15 to 16 inches deep, so there is a floor in that livewell. Drilled all them holes really close together with a 10" drill head on the power auger then I busted out the webbing that remained with an ice chissle. Then we scooped out all the ice & slush & it filled with water. The snow pack on top of the ice is waterlogged so the water filled in from the top side.
It's a little bit of work making one of those wells but the kids love it, it's kinda fun.
