Default Minnows

I bought probably 30lbs of minnows last year. If I lost 2-3 per pound I was upset.

The keys are the baitkeeper to keep ammonia at bay.
Cool water, I put ice in the bucket.
The cooler the better but do not put too much in and shock them.
I also keep in quiet place. Let's noise and lights, the calmer they are.
Good aerator.
Temp and ammonia management are key.

I have kept them for up to 4 days with little fall out in 5 gallon bucket. As noted below if you have a cooler and put ice in with a aerator you are gold.

Merry fishing.
