I just use a gallon sized water jug with the screw on top. Has a decent handle, insulated, and won't leak. Under $10.
Same here! I have two, picked them up at garage sales, one for .50 cents, the other .25 cents.(Image removed from quote.)
Do any of you use the Frabill Magnum Bait Station? https://www.frabill.com/catalog/product/view/id/1864/s/magnum-bait-stationr-13/category/407/?fbclid=IwAR3gNltkTfq5EKkk8zHUZvBMAw00Lv5MGW77EUahVZ-D_FlIIhl3pB1o15I
Yep, same color I have too. Just make sure you mark it somehow so someone does not try and use it later for water, and then you are put into a position trying to decide to tell them or not after they drank from it. Not that I would know anything about that.
That's my favorite for most live bait while ice fishing too, a simple 4qt coleman insulated jug. Cheap, durable and it works.
those of you who use Coleman's with the screw top. Do you keep an Aerator in it while you're out on the ice? Here in NH we use Smelt that are pretty sensitive. Just wondering exactly how you're set up with it out on the ice.
I use an engel. From experience dont get it too close to the big buddy heater. My engel still works fine but doesnt look as good as it once did lol.
Or anything else. I once melted the soles offa pair of Rocky hunting boots trying to warm my frozen feet.
Maybe I'll put a sticker on them to dress them up?While at home I also open the drink spout and send an aerator hose through it and replace the stone to keep the minnows lively and longer.
