I use inexpensive fold top sandwich bags to hold as many minnows as I want to freeze per package. For larger minnows 2 to 4 is usually enough for a trip. Just put the minnows in the bag, add cold water and then squeeze out all the extra water (and air bubbles) and twist the bag shut...using a rubber band to hold it in place until frozen. Whenever I run out of fresher frozen minnows I can resurrect some as old as 2 years old and they are still almost as good as fresh.Do you have a problem with them getting mushy? Mushy minnows that fly off the hook have made me wary of using them.
