On a boat or off a boat?

On the water or at the house overnight?????  Shrimp basically kill themselves in a closed environment literally from their crap.  They need good water circulation from a fresh source or heavy filtration to stay alive longer.

While fishing from shore...

Take a container, preferably a ice chest, place plenty of ice in it 1/3 to 1/2 full. Coat the ice with numerous sheets of wet saltwater newspaper. Place shrimp on newspaper. Don't let the shrimp come in contact with the ice as it will freeze them.

In a boat...Live well with plenty of saltwater circulation. The warmer the water the more it has to be changed.

cool, clean, oxygenated water...........i usually keep a wet towel draped over the livewell on my boat to help keep it cool, i don't know if it really helps or not, but i never have a problem.  I really don't have to worry about the clean and oxygenated part since i have a high turnover rate over water in my livewell.  but if you're just using a bucket or something i'd keep it covered and in the shade (under a towel, beside a chair, etc) and change the water out quite often
