RaedwulfFisher Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 I got some minnows the other day and used only a few......and right now they're in a bucket half of them alive.. ........ then I thought..."you're probably not allowed to dump them in the water"....do I just toss them out in the garbage?

kgm Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Salt them and put them in the freezer to use later. Or get an air bubbler and keep them in a cool dark place. Can keep minnows for a long time alive if you keep the water clean, cool and keep a bubbler going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possem Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 Never add tap water or they will be dead in a couple hours.. I have never had to much with salted to mushy, maybe I am not adding enough or possibly too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saugeen85 Posted April 28, 2017 Report Share Posted April 28, 2017 In my experience of fishing the best thing to do is put them in your garden then get fresh ones when you head back out, fresh Minnie's are the best! I'll be going out tomorw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boogaloo Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 If you choose to salt them, do not use table salt...use the coarse pickling salt. Just dry off yer minnows on a paper towel and toss them in a sandwich bag with a few spoons of salt. Shake 'em up and let sit a few hours and then you can freeze them. I use them a lot and they catch fish...........Daniel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
possem Posted April 30, 2017 Report Share Posted April 30, 2017 I am going to have to try that, like I said before I never had any luck salting them. Always too mushy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
