  Complete live bait noob question here. On a good day, whats the expected number of live bait one might go through in a typical day trolling/tossing bait  on a lake, say like Del Valle?  I'd like to know what would be the proper number of bait to get, without getting too many (not being able to use them up.)

Group IQ is inversely proportional to the size of the group.

A Steelhead always knows where he is going, but a Man seldom does.

A dozen is a good start but get as many as you can keep alive. If you have enough you can release the ones that you drag around for a while, lively bait is the best.
