I decided the last couple days that I am going to set up a minnow holding tank in my garage for at least the spring crappie season. I have a 110 Frabil aerator on order, going to find a ten gallon car-boy tank, water treatment, fish flake food and a water filter. I can get this all for $40 and then have minnows waiting for me and don't have to work on other people's schedule. Plus, I don't have to dump extra minnows in the grass after my weekend is over-running a D-battery powered aerator gets pricey for long term maintenance. Plus, I can load up when I get to a good bait shop and hold them.
