The 2nd week in September when you are back in school (lets hope you have a violent teacher this year!):g:
As has been said if you keep them in peat (not the garden variety with additives) but sea/river peat change the paper, & keep them in a cooler bag with plenty of newspaper between them & the ice block! They dont like being too cold or they die!

where can you buy this sea peat from. I dig maddies on a regular basis, and end up keeping them in sea water and changing the water on a daily basis. This I find is fine until you want to take them fishing as I have to transport them in a bucket of water and they don't 'bulk' up as they do when being transported in peat.

you probs am gonna say im doing it wrong but i keep them in the frige in a bait tub on there own with n news paper or peat.

i find they will last up to 4-5 days the way i keep the and iv found that they touthon up as well and stay on the hook better.
