Expensive Minnows

[Therapist]

To keep my bait partially frozen and usable, I use a couple of bags of ice & salt. in the cooler. My bait cooler is small enough that a quart ziplock half - 2/3rds full of crushed ice with a couple of tablespoons of rock salt , on the bottom. a couple of folded paper towels on top, the bagged frozen minnows, then another bag of ice & salt on top. They will stay cold enough not to completly thaw, but still be usable.
