  Getting ready for the 1st annual "Chillin at Del Valle" and I know there are striper's in them thar waters, and live minnows are probably the preferred bait.  My question is how do you guys store or keep your live bait?  Do you use "bait tubes" built for minnows? buckets?  (homebuilt or store bought?)
 Currently, I have nothing for keeping live bait alive.  Do I simply need to head to the nearest sporting goods and get whatever "bait bucket" they may have?

The bait tube is great to have ....but dragging it all day kinda sucks.

My bait bucket of choice is this: made by plano

I keep this on my tank well and dip it every now and then to keep the minnows happy....

Bait buckets work fine for minnows. I fill mine with water, add minnows, and keep it in my tankwell behind me. Every once in awhile I dip the bucket underwater to get fresh water in it.
