We used to do this with ice, sawdust and paper back in the olden days.

45 years ago I use to go to steinhatchee with my father and a guide, named John Lundy and he use to keep the shrimp alive in a bucket of saltwater and sawdust.where does time go?

[DixieReb]

I remember us buying shrimp at the Aucilla landing in the 60's and using sawdust to keep them alive. It works.

[MIKE REELMAN]

was the sawdust wet or dry and ice . too add too my tip i wood use saw dust i can't get it easyly. go tip on saw dust.
maybe chris at gulf coast need to get me some saw dust to try.

[DixieReb]

The sawdust was damp, but I don't remember any ice. It was so cold back then we didn't need any ice. Does anybody remember fishing the river with big cane poles and corks? That's how Grandad fished, the pole was so heavy I could barely hold it up.

[MIKE REELMAN]

i hate to say i remember when cane poles that's all there was. if theres was something beside cane we didnot seen it.
but they aso ship sun shine to use . it has not change much we still a ONE HORSE TOWN.

[MudDucker]

Depended on the weather. If cold enough, no ice. If not, ice was put in bottom of bucket, covered with paper, then sawdust and shrimp, then damp paper to cover.

[FishWithChris]

get the shrimp in a ziploc bag and throw it in the cooler with the ice.

and if its a YETI, they'll stay alive 'till the next day too!
