    You can get the 5 gal. pail with a swivel seat, but can't find one with the liner. Thanks. I'm going to finish mine in the morning, and if I can, I will post a picture. Hey June bugg, I know what you mean. Weather here is so windy everyday, mid 30's in the mornings, now we got rain coming in again...

Size:  32.9 KB Hey June Bugg, I just finished this up. Nylon strap/a buckle to tighten it. Then I hot glued it to the cooler, drilled a hole in the top for the air hose, hang the Friable Bubbler on the side, and your ready to go. Put your minnows, leaches,etc. Put a cooler pack or some ice to keep em' cool.

    The best minnow bucket out there is one that has 5 to 6 minnows left in it after a good day of crappie fishing. Have a crappie day.
    A crappie day fishin beats working any day!!

    Here's what my buddies and I have been using for years. It's a 6 gal bucket with styrofoam liner. I run a Powerbubbles areator and can fish for days without losing minnows, as long as I change water daily. We were getting them at Academy, but they have quit carrying them. Don't know where to find them now. I will buy several when I do.

    Man... This setup looks solid for the canoe. I hate having the minnow bucket drag along the side while paddling. You can use the spout to remove water then add from the top.

    It works good, but it will be better in the winter. Minnows don't do that great here in the summer, I usually only try using them through June. We've used the cooler a few times with good luck, just change the water once a day or so.
