Big floating minnow bucket?

[Skidz]

If you can find an old clothes washer, you can use the basket with some float material around the top for one. Could hold a bunch of minnows that way.

Good luck keeping the raccoons and other varmints out.

Get an old stock tank and keep it full of minnows, get them with a net, just like bait shop. I kept mine in stock tank for years.

Here's a cheap easy solution that i have used for years. Take one of those big plastic storage bins and drill it full of tiny holes. Take those floating noodles (kids pool toy) cut them to the length and width of the storage bin then zip tie them to the top of the base of the bin. Then take a string and tie the lid to the base and there you have a cheap shiner bucket. I tie mine to a post to my pier and it floats in the water year round. Cheap easy and takes about 5 mins to make.

Great idea, thanks!
