This is right up my alley! I used to bait hooks on a fishing boat when I was a kid. I worked my way up from apprentice to journeyman and then master baiter. I was a master baiter right up until I got married. Even now, though I don’t fish as much as I did when I was a kid, I still do it just to maintain that muscle memory.

BCtruck, rebuild, repair,repurpose You should take a trip to Johns and give him a hand. As busy as he is im sure he could put you to work. Hire you out down at the dam as the chief master baiter. Make a little side cash.

The bitch is crazy I tell you ! Please take all my bait please ! Stinky fingers NOT worth the aggravation just to go fishing I tell you ! You must be single ..... fingers must smell clean all the time , your lucky !

I like that you do a lot of shore fishing, most all others are on boats,,,, thank you for the videos, every little helps when it comes to fishing...

Thanks for this. Now I understand why some bait I have bought in the past was soft and mushy while the same bait type of another brand is still quite solid.

Thanks mate, I’ll definitely try this with 4” herring I use for bait over winter.

Nice job! You hit all the important points in a direct and straight forward manner. Our politicians could learn a lot from you. Thanks, job well done and appreciated. Kerry

I’m not sure how I missed this! You’ve got me thinking hard about catfishing this year.

Your house must smell awesome 😂 Thanks for the info.

Hey this is some very handy info for me! A lot of times I don't want to spend a lot of time fishing for bait before I go fishing, and I have a stretch of shoreline where I can grab up a bunch of small green sunfish ahead of time. If I could freeze them up in 'trip sized' bags I could just grab and go! I'm gonna try this! Don't have a vacuum sealer (yet) but I'll try with regular freezer bags first.

Awesome! I wish I lived closer to you so I could buy your bait.

Just stumbled upon this video. I’m so glad I did. Awesome video. And a new subscriber

Saw you doing remodeling on Steve's nightclub. Excellent way to handle bait storage- subbed!

Hey John I bought some of your shad from the tackle shop in South Point a couple of weeks ago. I'm not a big fan of frozen shad,it seems like it gets mushie but the shad I got that you packed was fresh just like it was just caught. It caught us a 16 and a 13.5 lb flats that night.Thanks for all that you do.

Woah I got frozen bait from the tackle box and it's a crazy coincidence that I'm watching this video now. I caught a channel cat in Winfield on his bait.

Thanks, Loved the training course.. Thanks again From Coldspring Texas

This was a great video. I had froze some shad but they were wet and they broke down fast. Great video!!! Great tips !!!!

I must say That was some extraordinary advice for just a Regular Dude!:)

I'm really glad you are getting lots of bait unlike it was early this yr

Good info. Thanks. Thanks also for that tip on salt. Appreciate what you are doing....

Great tips brother! Thanks alot

I needed this video thank you I’m about to go catch shad and try that today

Awesome video!!! Thank you sir!

Looks like you finally got into some bait fish.

Good video. I use to catch them shad and put them in a small cooler with ice. Then i would put the small cooler in the freezer. Anythime I was going to use the shad I would take the whole small cooler with me . When finish I would put the small cooler back In the freezer. I was able to catch cats with 1 and a half year old frozen shad with my method.

Good Tips My Dude!

Thx for the tips!

Nice video like it good tips brother

I just tryed this with bream . Hope it works because there was a bunch . Thanks.

Nice video brother. Thumbs up.

i cant wait to fish with you big john

I love your vontent

Great video buddy. Im in Mississippi and im having problems finding shad in The lakes. Do you have any ideas?

Thanks for the vid brother! Any thoughts on removing them from the cooler, lay flat and freeze, then package? Would that decrease the quality? Larry

Well I been doing almost right thanks for the video

good tips! ... tried to do this in my kitchen, but the wife threatened to dry me off and vacuum pack me ... so I set up shop in my back yard instead :-)

Good info

Nice video, I was catching some shad today and a guy came by and wanted to buy some, I had no idea what to ask for them , so I just gave him a double hand full. Could you give me a idea on what I should charge. Thank you for your time and videos.

A tip I have learned when using my vacuum sealer is after I have made a good seal I seal a second seal(not vacuum) a half inch away so I will have a double seal in case one fails.

Hey John. Hope you're doing good. Would you please tell us how much salt to put in our slurry? I'm getting ready to try and catch some skipjack for the summer and I want to do it as best I can. Steve Douglas didn't mention it in the video I seen. I haven't watched Chris's video on it yet, but I will try to find it. Thank you!

Ok thanks I've always used blue gill and creek chubs around here. I haven't done any river fishing but after watching these videos I'm gonna start. Hopefully on the regular dude guided fishing trip

Every cat in the County is circling his house.

Now do you put them in the salt water ice mixture as soon as you catch them like they don’t go into a bucket they go straight into the salt ice water mixture I understand you salt water and ice but I don’t know if it’s once I pull them out of the river or lake or creek do I put it in the salt water ice mixture

Pro tips =}

Buddy, can you use this procedure of freezing with any kind of fish, shrimp and squid? Thanks a lot.

You’re so cool

Can you refreeze shads several times and they still be good.

How can get some of your shad bait ship to me?

No salt? Interesting. Mullet runs are drying up here around Florida, thankfully I got about 15-20lbs frozen mullet in my freezer. I'm watching videos now because I heard they get soft and mushy if you don't pack them with salt. I packed them with salt after rinsing them off with a hose in the driveway, then packed them in freezer bags (didn't dare to use my wifes vacuum sealer lol).. I'm wondering if they will be useless when thawed, or hard and rubbery like they say when you use salt.

Update?

Have you ever tried adding rock salt to the fish before you seal them?

I cat fish right off the back in ashland ky I was wondering how to get ahold of you to buy bait

Any of you guys know where I can see the video on shock freezing using salt like our man mentioned at the begining of the vid?

How do we contact you about bait sales? I think I'm local but not completely sure. Thanks!

Brand of vacuum machine plz

are they shad yuk ?

Can you do that with pan fish

Im new to freezing bait, sorry if this is commonly known, but curious to know if you its ok to re-freeze bait you don’t use after taking it out on a fishin trip. Assuming its kept in a cooler on ice the whole day, can you vacuum seal it back up and freeze it again?

@owenpierson5881

2 жыл бұрын

I have done this before. Bait quality will decrease after each freeze but it will work

U should keep the slime. Slime is the only way for catfish to find you bait. It is the magnet that attracts the Cats.

How long can the bait set in the salt mix before I get home to prepare like u were doing? Thank you

@RegularDudeFishing

I wouldn't leave them in the water/salt solution for more than an hour or so. I move them to another cooler with just salted ice after they are frozen in the water solution. Leaving them in the water too long will make them start to loose their color, at least that is my experience bro.

I just might drive to Ohio just to buy a bag,, lol

I want to buy some bait

Why not salt them? That way they would make a better bait as they stay firmer on your hook too.

The best thing is not to freeze the baite just throw away if you got some left from your fishing fish only like fresh bait

I would buy some skipjack if you would mail it to please I'm in s.w.okla.

John, check my channel man, indo similar catfish videos but sometimes carp. Thats what we have here..

Does your wife allow ? It's her kitchen in the end 😝

Salt on ice will work bag before putting them in there salt on meat breaks down protein makes it soft I throw them on the concrete till they stop moving don't wash slime off don't vacuum pak just zip lock

@larrytischler8769

The salt kills the bacteria on the skin and helps preserve the meat. Dried fish is salted and it is not soft.
