I made the mistake of feeding my minnows. Boy did they make a mess of my tank.
Hey Guys , Sinkup lives right up on Crappie heaven. He is one really nice guy too. Last June I pulled the Pirate ship up to Douglas lake. Sinkum met me up there and showed me a couple of spots to fish. Those spots can not be revealed but I caught a nice mess of 14 inch crappie.
Thanks again Sinkum!

ive been keeping minnows close to two years and have never fed em. they will eat what they need off dead minnows in the water
Rango-How often do you change the water in your tank?
every couple weeks ill stick a hose in the tank and let it run for awhile. the excess water drains out a drain hole at the top. i dont know how much water goes in. i run the hose to the bottom and let it run about a 1/4 open for 5-10 minutes in warm weather. when it gets cold maybe once a month ill run some water in it.Quote:

If things change and mine doesnt keep minnows alive during the hotter months I think I can come up with a barrel and keep it inside my boat barn. Thanks for the tips Rango.;)Quote:
