keeping bait alive ?
working today but going tomorrow and I want to go early, my bait shop doesn't open until 7 . If I get bait this afternoon late what is the best way to keep it alive to fish tomorrow. I will be by myself so I will only have about 1/2 pound of minnows. WILL A ICE CHEST WITH A BUBBLER WORK?

This is good to know, I was wondering this myself just the other day!

I just leave them in the plastic bag with air pumped in overnight, especially when it’s cool. Minnows are always lively when I get to the ramp the next morning.

Yep, keep em cool and in the oxygen bag and they will live a long time.

Give you a hint on keeping bait alive. If you have a feed store like atwoods or tractor supply even a local feed store that sells fine stock salt, you can put about a half cup in your cooler if it's like a 7 gall cooler, and with a small aerator, they will stay alive for days.You can't believe how much livelier they get and healthier. It works well with shad in bait tanks also. I have kept shad alive for a week in a 40 gall bait tank by adding 4 cups of salt and everybody knows how hard they are to keep alive. Most all our bait shops add salt to their minnow tanks in my area. A 50 lb bag is less than 5.00 and will last all summer.

keep them in there bag and put in fridge they last awhile
All men are created equal, some work harder in the preseason.

I kept a bucket of minnows alive for 2 weeks recently by putting them in the refrigerator. Didn't do anything other then that. It looked like some were dead but once they warmed up a little bit they were very lively.
