Start a colony---->http://www.iceshanty.com/ice_fishing/index.php?topic=86070.0 Then ya can use em for softwater as well as have em for next hardwater season. Starting with bait store waxies can be difficult , but it can work. I`m gonna start a colony in late summer and see if I can keep them  going till next icefishing season.
Or give em to a buddy who keeps reptiles, they like em!

 I use them in open water,but yesterday 1 bull gill and 1 crappie on wax worms,then went with those 1 inch Gulp minnows in the liquid,wow ended with 25 crappie and 10 big bulls. I never used it ice fishing but wished I did.Used TWO minnows in 6 hours fishing.

I put my leftover grubs in or near the bird feeder.  Our little freinds really enjoy them. :)
