Anybody tried brining and refreezing unused bait squid?? How did it turn out?

If you keep it cold during the fishing trip then it will be good to go on the next trip also. If you let it get hot and dry out then toss it over and start from scratch.

| gets mushy after about the third freeze or so. Still works, but easy for the fish to strip off the hook. I got some we go white trout fishing on 3mb that has been refroze 4-5 times at least. Getting REAL mushy and stinky. White trout (being the low standard fish they are) love it though!

The gettin' too mushy to stay on the hook is what I was worried about... Nobody brines it, huh??

| Certainly won't hurt in the chum churn, or just tossed over the side once in awhile. Jim

I try to buy multiple small packs and break out a pack at a time keeping the others wrapped in brown bag over block ice. This will keep the unopened boxes from thawing during the day and will be fresh for my next trip but if the bit is hot, I'll be sure to have plenty. Whats remaining in the opened boxes at the end f the day I'll donate to the sea! Jimmy

| No problem. Just keep doing it until your wife makes you throw it out.

| So a salty brine prior to the refreeze would not work? Mark W

Never tried brine. I take multiple small packs out in a cooler on ice and only take out a small amount at a time keeping the rest on ice until needed.
