It did not seems to work that well for those fish, it just turned them mushy and it did not stay on the hook that well. Finally I ended up buying a vacuum packer, then freezing the fish whole, that seemed to work the best for my needs and I use the same method for chubs.
If you have has it seemed to help or hurt with the bite?
I have thinking about giving it a try.
I have been vacuum packing and freezing the fish whole for 5 or 6 years also. I think I will try the salt with a couple of fillets to see the results with chub.
How have you been handling whole frozen fish on the water?
I thaw a bit the night before chunk it up then refreeze over night. Put in cold pack or ? depending on what fishing temps. are going to be.
