I'm not a salt water guy,AT ALL. I'm going to Galveston 1st week of November and will fish the jetties and piers. How do you keep shrimp alive? Can you use a minnow bucket with an aerator or what?Any info on that and tips is greatly appreciated.

As long as u have access to the water a regular live bait bucket where u can keep it in the water will do just fine,there are about a gazillion different bait bucket and aireator setups that will work as deep as your pockets.Just found this idea on 2coolfishing.com where u can take a styrofoam cooler fill it about half way ice take whole newspaper soak it in the water they get the shrimp from,put it on top of the ice where shrimp can`t touch the ice and add shrimp this causes the shrimp to go into suspended animation[hope that`s the word]but once u get the shrimp hook it and put it in the water it`s ready to go.Hope that helps I can`t wait to try the later if I ever get to go again..Bill

i agree , if you can drop the shrimp in the gulf, they will last, if not, i bought an aerator that comes with a charger, worked good,
then i started using gulp live 4 and 3 inch shrimp, and i guit using live bait.
the ice idea sounds like it would work.
