Minnows!!!

For years I have been trying to find a way to keep low maintenance minnows available for the spring fishin season.....

I have tried a huge fish tank in the garage w a filter.....too many minnows would still lead to die offs, smelly garage n wife wud complain, had to feed em fish food, filter clogged w dead minnows, algae growth, etc.

Tried filling a 55 gallon plastic drum....still die offs and hard to net the bait. 

This year I used multiple containers (2 bins, a cooler, n the jet sled) holding only between 10-20 minnows each container......its been a month and they r still going strong!  They are probably surviving on mosquito larvae....hence their name....mosquito fish!!  Lol

When I used to have 55 gal drums around the house,I had the gutter leaders run the rain water in em for the vegetable garden all summer.

Well, if they are feeding on the mosquito larvae, you shouldn't have a mosquito problem, right?

Pretty good idea you have there!
