aerators/non-freezing techniques

[brookiebomber477]

i trap my own bait in a little pond behind my house and keep them in a five gallon bucket in my garage. I was considering buying an aerator to keep the bait more lively. anybody have any experience/advice about these things?

also is there a way short of bringing it inside to keep it from freezing at night?
will the aerator keep it from freezing over?

An air pump will keep the water moving - and if you need it to be warmer, you can get a cheapo aquarium heater from Wally world or wherever else in your area...
