in my back yard I just chunk them in. It's MAYBE 3 foot by 2 foot and even though I lose a few, most stay alive
I use a big aquarium, aerate, and keep them extremely cool. I have kept them alive for a couple of weeks...and like Dondon I have some die but most stay alive.
This time of year I just keep them in a big cooler.

Nah, keep 'em hongry and skinny. That way when you put 'em on a hook they'll scurry about trying to find a last meal.

Never feed them, they will keep the water dirty if you do.Quote:
