Fish Bait Recipes to Make at Home
Fish Bait Recipes to Make at Home
Curing Salmon Eggs
If you are fishing for large game fish, cured salmon eggs are the
perfect bait. Largemouth bass, pickerel, muskellunge, salmon, lake trout and
other large fish species love them. Here's how to cure salmon eggs to use as
bait. When you remove the eggs from the salmon you are cleaning, keep the egg
sacs, also known as skeins intact. Cover a large, flat, moveable surface with
1/4 inch of borax. Cut the egg sacs (skeins) across the membrane in sections of
3 to 4 inches. Lay the egg sac (skein) sections 1 inch apart on top of the
borax. Sprinkle more borax over the top to create a light coating. Be sure all
egg sacs are covered. Move the large moveable surface that the eggs are on into
a sheltered area that has good air circulation all around. The eggs must not be
in direct sunlight and must not get wet, so be sure they are protected from
precipitation. Allow the sacs to dry for two to three days, being sure to turn
them every 12 hours. Pick the egg sacs out of the borax and shake any excess
off them. Place them in plastic bags or storage containers. The egg sacs are
ready to use when they are completely dry and feel leathery, but flexible. If
eggs are properly cured, they can be saved in the plastic bags or containers to
be used on your next fishing trip.
Cheese Bait
Cheese bait can be
used to catch bream, catfish, chub, and carp. In fact carp especially love
cheese bait. So if you're looking to catch any of these species or a huge carp
that's been lurking around your fishing hole, here's how to make your own
cheese bait. Use 10 ounces (284 grams) of pie pastry and roll it flat on a
cutting board or counter top. Smear the pastry with mature cheddar flavor. Add
6 ounces (170 grams) of grated mature cheddar cheese and 4 ounces (115 grams of
crumbled Danish blue cheese. Make sure it's crumbled to fine grains. Fold the
pastry over the cheese so it is completely covered and roll again. Continue
this process until the pie pastry and the cheese are mixed thoroughly and the
cheese is absorbed by the pastry. Form the paste into a large ball and knead by
hand. Add ten drops of the mature cheddar flavoring to a freezer bag and place
the cheese paste ball into the bag. Place in the freezer. When it is thawed,
this fish bait has a very appealing consistency and texture, and a very
powerful cheesy smell. Roll the thawed paste into cheese balls and place into a
container for your next fishing trip. When you place a cheese ball onto your
hook, set the hook's point into the center, cast and wait patiently for the
fish to bite. Optionally you may add a few drops of red food coloring to the
paste if you wish, but it isn't necessary.
