sawbellies vs shiners from shore

[Biz-R-OWorld]

Have you been able to keep sawbellies alive overnight in the summer time?

Yes. Kept the bucket in the garage where the temp is a lot cooler than outside.

This year, I will try using a 5 gallon bucket from home depot and an aerator that you plug into the wall (to save batteries on my quiet bubbles).  I will need to keep them outside so we'll see how hot it is over night and how much heat they can sustain.

I did that once many years ago. The raccoons had a party
and I had no bait the next morning.

Your best bet would be to make sure it has a styrofoam insert in it and then throw ice cubes in.With the aeratoralso should be ok.

[new2titicus]

Maybe ill just use a Styrofoam cooler.

Do you have to do anything to the water before you keep them over night? or put anything in it so the water doesent become stale or something. (besides Ice) ?

[lionpshark]

I mean things like aquarium salt or stresscoat?

I would say use the air-rader system along with their suggestions and you'll be fine. (thatll keep the water from losing any oxygen)
