Title: Eggs.
Post by: Rem700LR on September 17, 2025, 09:42:33 PM: Freezer burnt eggs. Worth saving or not. I had a whole package come undone and now they are freezer burnt. They are still firm and smell good just wondering if it’s worth re sealing. I have fresh eggs next to the older ones (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250918/c7927ee3693df0089266c13b9a9524f5.jpg)

Personally, I wouldn't risk fishing freezer burnt eggs.

You can't be serious.

Post by: WSU on September 19, 2025, 08:03:22 AM: If I’m real low on eggs, I’ll use some to run through a hole a few casts before putting good eggs on. You might getting an eager biter or 3 before have to use the good stuff.

Post by: Bullkllr on September 19, 2025, 08:07:16 AM: There's eggs that are past prime and there's baaaad eggs. If they're burnt through, dry and crunchy I don't think I'd waste time trying to fish them, and it looks like those might be gone. :twocents:

If they were frozen fresh, not cured, and only freezer burned then why not? Dogs have eaten a lot worse and been fine.

Sure, if they're not cured. Big IF, imo.
Bait eggs are not generally frozen uncured. All of the eggs pictured appear to be cured with typical curing chemicals and dyes and are not something any dog should be eating.

Agreed.

Post by: Stein on September 19, 2025, 10:16:51 AM: It would also have to be frozen pretty cold, -4 for at least a week to kill any fluke carrying the bacteria that is harmful to dogs. My upright doesn't get that cold but my chest freezer does.

I would keep it in case I ran out of better eggs and then throw it into crab or shrimp bait next year.

Now watch..... you're gonna catch a 20 Lb. Steelhead on them.
