A portable culling cart is disclosed comprised of a housing, a live well therewithin, a self contained means of filling the live well with water from a marine source, a self contained water circulation/aeration means, a self-contained power source for powering both the means of filling the live well
A portable culling cart is disclosed comprised of a housing, a live well therewithin, a self contained means of filling the live well with water from a marine source, a self contained water circulation/aeration means, a self-contained power source for powering both the means of filling the live well with water and the circulation/aeration means, at least two wheels and a transportation handle. The cart is transported upon said two wheels by a user from site to site utilizing the transportation handle and utilizes powered filling of said live well from a marine source and powered circulation/aeration of water therewithin without need for outside power sources, pumps or manual filling of the live well. In a preferred embodiment, the cart includes at least one electric water pump, at least one electric battery having suitable voltage and amperage to power said at least one electric pump, a length of water pick-up hose having sufficient length to extend from the cart to a marine water source. In the preferred embodiment, the live well includes at least one water inlet and at least one water outlet mounted upon and providing fluid entry/exit to and from said live well. A water valve providing for and enabling control of direction of water flow to and from said live well is disclosed being especially configured to include at least two valve inlets, one valve outlet and three valve settings. The first valve inlet being in fluid connection with the water pick-up hose, the second valve inlet being in fluid connection with the at least one water outlet of said live well and the valve outlet being in fluid connection with the at least one electric water pump wherein. When the valve is placed in a first setting, the valve inlets and outlet are configured to connect the water pick-up hose with the at least one water pump and live well water inlet so as to enable filling thereof. When the valve is placed in a second setting, the valve inlets and outlet are configured to connect the live well water outlet with the at least one water pump and live well water inlet so as to provide circulation and aeration of water within the live well. When the valve is placed in a third setting, fluid connection amongst the at least one water pump, water pick-up hose and live well outlet are closed and sealed.

I claim: 1. A portable culling cart comprised of a housing, a live well there within, a self contained powered means of filling the live well with water from a marine source and a self contained water circulation/aeration means wherein said powered means of filling and powered means of circulation/aeration means comprises at least one electric pump which is mounted and is operated from within said housing, at least one electric battery having suitable voltage and amperage to power said at least one electric pump, said at least one electric battery being mounted and operated from within said housing; a length of water pick-up hose having sufficient length to extend from the cart to a marine water source; at least one water inlet and at least one water outlet mounted upon and providing fluid entry and exit to and from said live well; and a water valve providing for and enabling control of direction of water flow to and from said live well, said valve being especially configured to include at least two valve inlets, one valve outlet and three valve settings, a first valve inlet being in fluid connection with the water pick-up hose, a second valve inlet being in fluid connection with the at least one water outlet of said live well and the valve outlet being in fluid connection with the at least one electric water pump wherein includes a pump, a self-contained power source for powering both the means of filling the live well with water and the circulation/aeration means, wherein when the valve is placed in a first setting, the valve inlets and outlet are configured to connect the water pick-up hose with the at least one water pump and live well water inlet so as to enable filling thereof; when the valve is placed in a second setting, the valve inlets and outlet are configured to connect the live well water outlet with the at least one water pump and live well water inlet so as to provide circulation and aeration of water within the live well; and when the valve is placed in a third setting, fluid connection amongst the at least one water pump, water pick-up hose and live well outlet are closed and sealed, at least two wheels and a transportation handle wherein said cart may be transported upon said two wheels by a user from site to site utilizing said transportation handle, said cart enables powered filling of said live well from a marine source and powered circulation/aeration of water therewithin without need for outside power sources, pumps or manual filling of the live well. 2. The portable culling cart of claim 1 wherein the transportation handle may be extended away from said cart so as to enhance the leverage thereof, and thereafter retracted back into the housing for storage. 3. The portable culling cart of claim 1 wherein the at least two wheels may be extended downward, away from the cart and retracted upward, towards the cart, thereby allowing the height of said cart to be adjusted so as to obtain a desired ground clearance therefore enabling the wheels to operate at varying height positions. 4. The portable culling cart of claim 3 wherein said cart includes a height assistance handle affixed to the housing thereof that facilitates adjustment of said at least two wheels. 5. The portable culling cart of claim 1 wherein said means for filling the live well with water from a marine source and the circulation/aeration means includes two water pumps mounted and operated from within said housing. 6. The portable culling cart of claim 1 wherein said means for filling the live well with water from a marine source and the circulation/aeration means includes two electric batteries. 7. The portable culling cart of claim 1 wherein the live well water inlet is fitted with an aeration head configured to include a plurality of fine spray openings wherein water circulated through said aeration head mixes with air resident over the live well to increase aeration of water within the live well. 8. The portable culling cart of claim 1 wherein a separate aerator pump is mounted within the live well. 9. The portable culling cart of claim 1 wherein said cart also includes a plurality of storage drawers. 10. The portable culling cart of claim 9 wherein at least one of the drawers are insulated. 11. The portable culling cart of claim 1 wherein said cart also includes a fishing rod mount. 12. The portable culling cart of claim 1 wherein said cart includes a utility compartment housing the at least one electric water pump, the at least one electric battery, the length of water pick-up hose and the water valve. 13. The portable culling cart of claim 1 wherein the water valve is additionally configured and adapted to include an integral electrical switch utilized to open and close an electric circuit providing electric current to the at least one electric water pump from said at least one electric battery and wherein when said valve is placed in said first and second position, said integral electrical switch completes the electric circuit and so allows electricity to flow to and power said pump and wherein when valve is place in said third position said integrated electrical switch interrupts the circuit.
