^ This. Plus the other good stuff he mentioned, but IMO, over crowding is the most common cause of the bait dying on a yak.
Our tanks are relatively small, and will always be overcrowded once you get more than a few pieces of bait in there. If you are fishing in the harbor, near the receiver, see if you can slip the guy a few extra bucks and work out a deal where you can take a few baits at a time, and come back for a refill.
The less things the bait can bump into in the tank (plumbing fittings, hoses, corners, screw heads, airstones), the better.
