Salt Chub fillets?

[wiperhunter2]

Do any of you or have any of you salted your chub fillets?
If you have has it seemed to help or hurt with the bite?  
I have thinking about giving it a try.

Years ago I tried salting cisco to see it it would work, I used a method that TubeDude told me about. 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.

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.

Since I have never tried salting chubs, I sure can speak for how they will turn out but please let us know how it turns out for you. I carry a fillet board and knives in my boat, so I usually cut my chub as soon as get on the water and get ready to use it, then put the cut up bait in a container and use as needed. When I cut up the chub it is usually partly frozen and as long as you use a sharp knife ,it works fine, just don't wait until it is thawed out or you will have a mess. I realise you are likely aware of this but others reading this might not be aware of it. As far a cutting it up the night before, Ira has done that several times and it seems to work ok but I would not try it if you are doing it several days or longer in advance because it could get freezer burn.
