MyFishFinder.com Just like iceshanty but warmer
I'm 52 and I remember my mom when I was a youngster always froze the extra catch in milk cartons filled with water. We didn't ice fish back then. But we did have good fish in the winter. She always scaled her panfish. I must of been into my teens before I learned how to fillet.
one of my pet peeves---people who kill fish only to freeze it---and say they will eat it later---or the famous one-i will give it away---i will only freeze fish for 1 or 2 weeks max----PEOPLE IF YOUR NOT PLANNING TO EAT SOME FISH THEN DONT KILL SOME FISH---
We've used our Foodsaver vacuum sealer and we've never seen any freezer burn even after 2+ years in the deep freeze. We do make sure to pat dry the fish well, and then double bag if we know it will be for a long time.
Put water in the bag and freeze it into a block of ice. No freezer burn and will keep for at least a year.
