That is exactly what I do as well, no need for a live well of any kind at all, I've been doing this for three years now and would never even consider going back to a live well, and let me say as well when you have to use the Goldies, they actually turn to a lighter shade and look very much like a lake shiner , this method works well, so simple,

I only use frozen shiners and don't have any problem catching limits. Good thing is each person can take a small container of frozens and keep them close for fast baiting. I gave up on trying to keep them alive years ago and I'm much happier!

Lol... I expected a few people to tell me that I didn't know what I was talking about. I never expected the next 4-5 people to post to agree and say that is how they did it too! Especially the long time contributors and captains in here. Great minds think alike!

When a shiner dies it turns bad real fast and can kill the other minnows. By fast I mean within minutes they start to decompose unless they are kept ice cold. I use a frabil aerator bucket and have for the past 15 years. Threw out the battery powered pump and use an aquarium pump with a 110 v converter. Pump cost less then 10 bucks, converter is a small one cost was 18 bucks and has lasted for more than 10 years. Throw a small handful of ice from the fish cooler every now and then and still have fresh lively minnows when I get home so they freeze better. At the end of the season if I have any left over frozen minnows I use them to feed the fish in my pond, those big bass enjoy the left overs from perch season.

Take at least 2 bags with you. Put a couple of dozen in a bag and keep on top of the ice for easy access for bait while fishing and then bury the other bag with the rest of the shiners completely within the ice with only the top of the bag(s) sticking out of the ice for easy recovery. Adjust the number of minnows in the bait bag accordingly with the rate of the bite. The colder they are the longer they last. The minnows on the top of the pile in the bait bag will be the first to go bad. If that happens either wash out the bait bag or change it as the slime from the bad minnows will do the same to the good ones.
