Keeping Minnows ALIVE?

[Hipnotized]

Whats the best way to keep minnows alive for a long period of time? I'm going up north and they dont sell minnows close to where I'm going.
Thanks

I use a small size aquarium aerator with an air stone plugged into a lighter size inverter {from CTC $10}. Fairly cheap and very quiet.

you might want to check the reg's for transporting minnows?

 

[fishstalker]

buy your minnows in the area you are fishing and try keeping them in a cooler with an aerator rather than a bucket so the water doesn't heat up and kill the minnows

Occasionally add ice to the water as well. Cools the water down and releases oxygen as it melts.

have then put into a big heavy plastic bag with oxygen pumped into the bag. will last for 3-4 days if kept cool. then put them into a cooler with a bubbler on them. with a small frozen water bottle to keep the water cool.
