Preserving Shad

[FISHAMANIAC801]

Ive used dead shad fer days on end !!!! Heres a simple brine solution that works on shad-chubs-suckers-carp-shiners all-non-game fish.. 1 gallon bucket , half full of cold water , put 1 egg not cracked in the bucket , add salt an stir till egg floats , pull egg out stir in baitfish lightly stir for 5 mins let sit for 5 mins pull bait out and set on a rack or something that the solution will drip off .. I use a piece of perforated sheetmetal but most anything will work !!! Ive used this method a million times and it preserves them well !! once youve let them drip dry place in a ziplock bag and throwem in the freezer or on ice and your ready ta go !!! I learned this brine trick from a buddy who uses shad in oklahoma by the 40qt ice chest full for blue and flathead cats !!!Okiees know best LOL[]
