Minnows

Yes... an aerator pump that is for a fish tank will work great.... unless the water freezes they will last for a couple weeks.

I keep a 50gal feeder trough in garage with a pool pump pumping water in and can keep a couple hundred big minnows alive for a really long time

Hope you have better luck than me with the trap, I've struck out since it got cold, and nobody around here has any to sell.
Minnows will keep better when it's cold though. Lower metabolism= less oxygen used and less waste in the water. Just don't let it freeze.

Thanks for all the great advise and suggestions. What about placement? Anybody running traps routinely?

Fishin is Life, In Florida, I had a simular setup to support greenback's. I now have a 50 gallon drum and plan to attach a small pool pump to it. The rounded barrel supposedly keeps the fish from injuring there selves.
