By keeping lake temperature water in the smaller, it acclimates the minners to the temp and they will stay livelier on the hook. Yea, ya hafta get up and get minners more often this way, but you wont lose many at all. Trust me on this one.
And WB has the proper aerator set-up in his boat. I will have one of these soon.
Thanks minner, got a bucket already (dove bucket like Shine runner did) and ordered me a top for it, I have a smaller bucket I can just throw me a aerator in for using around the boat
