Title: Store bought eggs?
Post by: bowtech721 on June 23, 2010, 08:05:11 PM: Hitting the river this weekend and have no eggs. Just wondering if any of you guys have used the the pre done stuff from the stores. Ive seen the refrigerated kind in a tub and various types of vacume sealed eggs. Think theyd be worth a try or maybe forget about it and fish some other ways?

The guide told us not to worry and we just ran corkie/yarn/fuzzy balls and dipped it in the egg juice and shrimp juice and did fine. I think if you bought one container of eggs and just used it for scent you would be fine. :twocents:

Yep, cure the prawns with your favorite egg cure and cut into bait sizes and you are good to go.

salmon on the other hand, the only thing that comes close(at least for kings) are tuna balls.

good idea, I hadn't thought about that. I had them in airtight jars and they molded up in about a week in the fridge.

Be sure to vac pac them in the jar before you freez. They will last for several years. If you don't use them you can put them back in the freezer and re-freez without breaking the seal. With bags it can crush the eggs when they thaw if you don't punch a hole in the bag. Just some food for thought.

Post by: bowtech721 on June 28, 2010, 08:32:27 PM: Well not too hot for me but did see a couple caught. It was my first time really fishing on the cow on my own. Had one good hook up that was lost and kept getting a bunch of smolt side drifting. I spent quite a bit of time cruising around learning the river a little better. Did you nail anymore fish after i talked to you on sunday?
