Put them in a bucket of cold sea water with an aerator pump, they should be fine for a while in a cool and dark shed as long as there is no damaged ones, change the water daily or when it becomes too frothy. Don't mix the species, you'll need one bucket each.

two or three ice packs and a cool box just replace the ice packs every evening ,i dont like lug in water as they pop like a water ballon when you stick the hook in and rag are a pig to put on the hook straight out of water better keeping them in damp newspaper and some sand or weed those plastic containers are ok for transport but i find worms last much longer in paper and its biodegradable should it blow away of end up in the sea :!:with wee recycling you should be able to get a small fridge off an electrical shop for nothing!!

one week without fridge or fresh sea water forgot it bro, your best shoot is old school rules,which is salt and salt,thats the way you keep your bait without fridge,fresh sea water etc as I said before.
if your woman dont wanna see your bait in the fridge other solution always on the table, change the woman ....

Keep your rag in plastic chineese boxes, 10 - 20 per box depending on size. make sure there are no damaged ones, and put some coarse sand on them and maybe a bit of damp seaweed. If you keep them in a cool box with an ice pack or two they shouls be fine for a week!

Dunno about lug.....
