Keep minnows alive longer

Whether fishing for Perch, Pike, or Walleye: Keeping minnows alive on a long day of fishing has always been difficult. Yes you can buy those tablets to condition the water and release oxegyn into the water or you can put a few teaspoons of Hydrogen Peroxide into the water. This will also increase the oxegyn levels in your minnow bucket. The molecular formula for Hydrogen Peroxide is H2O2, adding one more molecule of oxegyn than what water holds(H2O). So keep a bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide in your tackle box, this really works and is cheap! Good luck!
