How do y'all carry minnows with you while you're wading?
I've tried plastic baggies, water bottles, and yesterday I lugged a minnow bucket (a dang fine one given to me by JimmyDee a few years back...thanks again Jimmy it is still doing a wonderful job) around with me. Nothing I've tried yet is anywhere near what I'd called satisfactory. So I'm in the market for a new idea.
Rarely fish with minners when wading but there are 2 things that work very well, first is a wading minner bucket, metal with a strap, oval shaped about 12 inches tall, lid have holes in it so you can freshen the water very easy. The other is a float, such as a tube or a big piece of styrofoam to put a regular minner bucket in, just tie it to ya and drag it along.
I think it must be my cheap nature that I didn't even consider checking to see if there was something I could buy designed for the purpose! I was looking to rig up something. I'll check it out. Thanks for the suggestion.Quote:

What Oxbow and cray said
Mesh laundry bag from Wallys water weenie. Couple bucks. Works great.
That ain't bad looking at all, and the price ain't too scary.Quote:

Pantyhose. I stole a pair of my wife's last summer to hold some chicken liver on my catfish hook. I bet that'll work like a doozy for this too.
never use em during the spawn a few jigs will be all I take with me along with a jig pole and a stringer
I normally sign on to that program, but I do like to watch a minner dance a bobber around till it goes under. Kinda reminds me of cane pole fishing when I was a kid.

Mongo, man that's a nice basket. If folks were to see me with something like that, they'd think I stole it.
Minnows? Wading? Amateur!!! I got one of the mongo mesh bags in the shop. Shoot me an address and promise to buy me a fantastic lunch one day when your rich and lonely and I'll ship it to you.
