I like fishing with cut up chub and am interested as to know if you folks have found a better way of doing this than I have, this will most likely be a messed up description but here goes.
Bring chub home.
Vacuum pac individually and freeze.
Night or two before going out I remove from freezer let thaw just a bit.
Descale.
Cut mostly frozen fish about every three eighths inch.
Lay flat and split these slices in half backbone to belly.
Place in sandwich bags add filtered (non chlorine) water squeeze out air and tie off with wire tie.
Place in freezer to freeze.
Keep in cooler while fishing and thaw a bit at a time as needed.
This leaves backbone in the pieces of bait. I fish with them in this state.
Now a question. Does anybody feel these pieces of bone put off the fish as they chomp down on the jig with these bones poking them in the mouth? If so what do you do?
If any body knows of a better mouse trap I'd like to learn.
