Leftover minnows

[65pontiac]

You come back in with a couple dozen minnows left and won't be going out to soon again. Does anybody grind up the leftovers to make a sauce and if so do you add anything to it?

[ChrisCarter]

I dumped them out or gave them to someone else. But at $3.30 a bag, lightning struck my brain and now i freeze them until the next trip.

oh yeah! a lil catchup n mustard with dill! lol or do you mean bait sauce? i usually toss them in my bait tank, in a minnow bucket(to protect them from the bigger baits already in there).

as far as bait sauce. i used to use veg oil as a vehicle for the sent to travel on without getting diluted. a lil salt too.

When I had chickens I fed em to them, they loved em and would fight over them. Now i give em away at the ramp.

Hmmm freezing that stuff into a block, then hang from boat?

go to walmart and buy an aquarium air pump and a WOODEN AIR STONE( the wooden stone makes finer bubbles and i think helps dissapte the ammonia and nitrats better, the blue will work though).

Before leaving the ramp or fishin' hole, grab a extra bucket of water. When you get home, dump the left over minners in there and toss in the air stone/pump. I keep mine in a dark garage, dont know if it matter on that part. I see the OP is in JAX, I would use a cooler to keep the temp steady, or atleast to keep it from heating up alot in the day time.

Ive got a cooler full ( 12+ dozen that Ive been nursing along for 3 months now, shoot, Ive even named most of them(kidding).

I used to use the blue one all the time..
In a big cooler, I also got some "blue stuff" from the bait store.
Feed them daily with tropical fish food flakes.

Sounds like facts to me... No need for opinions.

If you have an extra fridge, put them in a 5 gallon bucket full of fresh well water with a lid with holes or opening for air and they will stay alive for days, you can change the water out every few days. In the summer I use a big chest freezer with lid off with pond pump for aeration with filter and timer to keep water cool/. I put a couple pounds or anout 80 dozen minnows in this box.
