    I don't see how you keep the minnows in it? You know a trick about gravity

    It is a nice tank. This time of year it is easy to keep bait and does save time running to the bait store.

    Old Rango came up with some blue plastic 55 gallon drums. He gave me one and I added a filter and a couple of aerators. During cool weather, I could keep shiners and even better, the six buck a dozen striper shiners, alive for weeks at a time. I even went to Wally World and bought goldfish food and fed them twice a week. I saved a ton of money on bait when we used to fish Wateree twice a week.
