Use a commercial bait brine like BRINE-N-Bite or a heavy satwater brine with powdered milk to toughen the minnows and keep the scales shiny. If you dont, they will be mush when you thaw them. I have been curing minnows (and Herring ) for years, and it is important to keep the saline level high to toughen up the bait. The same applies to shrimp BTW...
