Shiners
If I get a couple dozen shiners (now), and put them in a 5 gal bucket inside the house where it's cool, with a small aquarium pump and air stone going...will they be ok till tomorrow morning?
I won't have time to get them this afternoon, and will be heading out before the store opens tomorrow.

Re: Shiners
What I do when I buy them at the bait store is add ice to the water. Believe it or not they dont die and it keeps them alive a lot longer than in that hot water.

Well the 5 gallon bucket worked like a champ. I changed about 1/2 the water before I went to bed last night. This morning they were as lively as could be. No dead ones.
Too bad the fishing sucked. Fished from first light till 9:30 and never had a bite. Zip. Zero. Called it a day. At least the leftovers will now be cut bait when I go offshore Tuesday

Re: Shiners
Yeah, when I fish for 3 hours and don't get the first bite, I know I am skunked.

Re: Shiners
I always add ice to the water in the shrimp bucket when I get bait. Especially during the summer when the water gets hot. If you can keep the water in the mid 70's, they'll stay alive for a long time...
