Location: New Hope MN		I'm taking the girlfriend camping this weekend and suckers are a must as she gets tired. With the hot temps, I'm worried they'll die on me.

I was thinking i could bring a mesh style minnow bait buckets and sink it over night. Also thinking i could bring a bunch of ice packs to throw in the live well over night.

Looking for any tips you guys may have. She is 0 for 30hrs and I need her to bag one soon...

Location: N.FIB		I`ve had fish hit dead suckers when it was windy and the boat had a faster drift going,also I would only be using one treble with the hook barely under its skin(don`t get too much meat)and would have it deep where the waters most likely cooler.
