Heres a tip that works for me, most of the time. Get yourself a couple of big cheap coolers, you'll need a freezer for the rest of this though. Freeze some jugs of water, you'll need about 4 gallon jugs.Put one jug in the cooler[frozen of course], then put your bait in the cooler, use what ever bedding or bait you like, BUT remember to change the jug every day. I keep my bait for weeks that way in our shed, and you know it gets warm here in Ky.
