If I have them in the live well I will always use the dead ones first as they are much easier to catch and put on the hook. If their color has changed I toss the dead ones over board that have faded from the fresh look into the decaying look. My live well pump cycles every 3 minutes and replaces about 1/3 of the water each cycle. I still prefer the minnows in the bag trick to the live well though.Wakina

That is the voice of experience. Can't agree more. I usually try to put the bag of minnows between two bags of ice when starting out... Then like Wakina said, make sure that you cover the bag with ice with the top sticking out. I use 1 Gallon size bags and don't put more than 6 scoops in each one. Basically, you don't want a large mass of minnows at the middle of the bag so that the center ones can't get cold.
The guy that said that when you go East that is what you see... The first time we saw this was on a charter out of the Cleveland area that we were on and the old timer did this. I haven't had a live minnow on the boat since, for some reason though I do take live shiners when we go ice fishing, and now I am truly wondering why?
