Advice needed on moving plants (moving whole aquarium to new house)

As title, I am moving house soon and I need to remove all water, decor and plants...

A) To aid me being able to catch 20 small, extremely agile fish
B) To keep weight down.

I have a soil and gravel substrate and the plants have been in for 2 weeks. Is it simply a case of pulling the plants up and bagging? Or should I put them in a bucket of tank water?

The fish will be in a lidded bucket for their transport but I would store the plants separately, of course.

As long as the plants stay moist they should be fine, sandwich bags are probably ideal for this.

Yes, bag the plants up, you don't want to have to carry more buckets of water than necessary. They will be fine is plastic bags.
