Curing Salmon Eggs

If you are fishing for larger game fish, aged salmon eggs are the perfect bait. Largemouth bass, muskellunge, salmon, and other large fish species love them.

Here's how to cure salmon eggs to use as bait:

When you withdraw the eggs from a salmon you are cleaning, keep the egg sacs--also known as skeins--intact. Cover a big, flat,transportable surface with 1/4 inch of borax. Slice the egg sacs (skeins) across the membrane in sections of 3 to 4 inches. Lay the egg sac (skein) sections 1 inch apart on top of the borax. Dust more borax over the top to produce a light coating. Make certain all egg sacs are covered.

Relocate the large moveable surface that the eggs are on into a sheltered spot that has sufficient circulation all around. The eggs must not be in direct sunlight and cannot get wet, so make certain they are safe from wetness. Let the sacs to dry for 2 to 3 days, making sure to rotate them every 12 hours.

Pull the egg sacs out of the borax and shake any excess them in plastic bags or storage containers. The egg sacs are ready to utilize when they are completely dry and feel leathery, but elastic. If eggs are decently cured, they can be kept in the plastic bags or containers to be used on future fishing trips.

Cheese Bait

Cheese bait can be utilized to catch catfish, chub, and carp. In fact, carp specially love cheese bait. So if you're searching to angle any of these species or a boastful carp that's been lurking around your fishing hole, here's how to construct your own cheese bait:

Use 10 ounces (284 grams) of pie pastry and roll it flat on a cutting board or counter top. Smear the pastry with aged cheddar flavor. Add 6 ounces (170 grams) of grated mature cheddar cheese and 4 ounces (115 grams) of crumbled Danish blue cheese. Make sure it's crumbled to fine grains.

Fold the pastry over the cheese so it's completely covered and roll once more. Continue this process until the pie pastry and the cheese are blended completely and the cheese is absorbed by the pastry.

Form the paste into a big ball and knead by hand. Add 10 drops of the mature cheddar seasoning to a freezer bag and arrange the cheese paste ball into the bag. Place in the freezer.

When it's thawed, this bait has a very engaging consistency and texture, and an extremely powerful cheesy aroma. Roll the thawed paste into cheese balls and put into a container for your next fishing trip.

When you set a cheese ball onto your hook, set the hook's point into the center, cast and wait patiently for the fish to bite. Optionally you may add a few drops of red food coloring to the paste, but it isn't requisite.
