Freeze or salt

[clhuff]

how long can you keep baitfish salted and still be good to use. Or Better to just freeze till ice?

[ice dawg]

Why not salt and then freeze? I have read that some people salt them and freeze them. Just google salting minnows for instructions.

[Spider1]

yup. salt then freeze.

pickle them in windshield washer anti-freeze for 10 minutes, then freeze them.  They absorb the alcohol and won't crystallize when frozen.  They are a little stiff and rubbery when thawed but the fish don't mind. They stay on the hook quite well.

I vacuum pack and freeze. I will salt them when I thaw them out.

gearheart, do you mean windshield washer fluid....or a mix of that with antifreeze? thanks

Windshield fluid winter mix not summer mix. Winter mix has alcohol which is an anti-freeze
