Went out fishing with Crapicat, his buddy lonestar something, and my buddy Dwayne! We bought 8 dozen minnows! Well they did not have a oxygen tank so they did not add air to the bag. A 20 min rid in the truck and you gussed it most were belly up! Well I used dead minnows on a bobber and it worked ok! But not as good as a live one! So when you are down to dead minnows dont just throw them out use them!


And yes I USED MINNOWS! bang bang bang bolt

When ur in a situation where they dont have any O2, just inhale a lung full and blow it into the bag, give a few turns while pressin down, and ur good for a couple hours. If its gonna be any longer than that, just repeat the process. And always grab a few extra rubber bands from the bait shop. Never know when ur gonna need em, and as the sayin goes, Its always better to have something and not need it, than it is to need something and not have it!

Add a frozen water bottle to keep them longer.

A battery operated bubbler kept my 75 gallons of aquarium fish alive after Hurricane Ike for over a week. I bet it would work just fine for a bucket of minners.


Yep. I'm a woman who loves to fish. And sure you can load my boat for me. Hee Hee

+1 on the battery operated thing. I have one and it has kept them suckers alive for days... just had to go back down to the creek and change the water out.

We use dead ones all the time but we pinch the heads off and hook them thru the body where the head was. They hang straight down and works very good.

I have one that has the bubbler built in to the bottom of the bucket, and it's insulated. I've kept minnows alive for a week with just a couple of batteries. It takes one D cell and lasts a couple days...


Fly tier (yeah, I can fly fish...but the fish don't like frothy water!)

If they die on you pinch their head off and put it on your jig head like a jig. Works wonders.


Whether you think you can or you can't, you're right
