We keep our minnows alive just by using a floating minnow bucket. Just tie it to the back of the boat and drift along getting a few out at a time to use. The ones we catch will bite them alive or dead. We don't lose very many minnows this way.

We use every minnow in the boat....live ones first....then dead ones...then the old crusty ones thrown off earlier.

We used to use a "bubbler" but when you turn it off it just seemed like it was so loud.
I agree it has been getting HOT by noon. I have been fishing from daybreak to 9:30am for Bluegills and then it's time to quit because of the Heat.
