As bad as I hate to, it looks like I may have to start considering using minnows again a few times a month or many times, depending on client load. I built my own previous minnow container with a D-cell pump motor and aquarium bubbler. It worked OK for a few dozen minnows but wasn't well suited for keeping several dozen alive for a day or 2.

I'm wondering what size and brand some of container you guides and tournament types are using? Are you using oxygen set-ups? What kinds of additives? Any special tips for cleaning that will help keep them kicking?

Thanks. It's been a dozen or more years since I used minnows to any extent. Trip here/day there.
