I thought so.............minnows two days out of the he water!

I thought you were b s in me minnows two days out of the water on ice

I should have tried this method. More than half of my shrimp are dead now.

I am a true believer now... Tried it the first time and the shrimp stay alive from 7am until the last one is gone at around 6pm. I put in a metal screen between the ice paks,newspapers and it works great. Funny looks from peoples around the bait shop. lol

Now if there is a way to keep the Grunts and Blowfish from eatimg the Shrimp,I will be happy....

I love this post, it's a great idea, but you hit the nail on the head, for every ten or twelve shrimp I use, it's the garbage fish that take most of them, with the occasional decent fish here and there caught on a live shrimp. I don't catch grunts or blowfish on live sardines or pinfish or plichards or any small live non shrimp bait

How many dozens can you put in that size cooler and it still work?

That is the inherent problem with shrimp and why I perfer to use my cash for bait fish. Not to mention I don't hold a rod when boatless. If the fish want me to catch them they must make long runs to wake me up and also swallow the hook.I managed a 5 fish limit of grovers on ch 5 saturday night using that technique. 14-17". It wasn't demon days but the largest ones came while mother nature was being a real biach.
