Re: bait night before
How do you salt and freeze your minnows? Are they dead and getting stale when you do this... if so, it may explain why the fish don't bite. Fish also rely on scent, and "rotting, stinky" fish smells are most likely a turn off.
You might try: A dozen still alive Shiners, placed in a baggy without water, just a couple Tablespoons of kosher salt and kept in the freezer.

Re: bait night before
Absolutely, only good healthy minnows, I have a very good insulated and aereated minnow bucket, so any left over minnows are good and healthy. Just never have had sucess wuth salted, my neighbor hasnt either. When I can get some good shinners I am gonna try the minnow cocktale version.
