Default Re: freezing baits

Chuckie, when I was a wee lad in the 60's we would use salted dried anchovies and sardines when we couldn't get the fresh stuff. Caught Stripers, Rockfish, Flounder, and lots of Sharks in San Francisco Bay.
The best frozen Squid I ever used never touched fresh water. Caught and bagged in saltwater. They were put on ice in the bag then frozen after the trip. Brian's stepdad Charlie (Gambler) gave us some on a tuna trip. It didn't washout from the freshwater contact. I was told that baking soda helps with color retention . Hopefully we will be able to lay up some before tuna season.
