Steve Arend Posted January 18, 2006 Share Posted January 18, 2006 After you cleaning the fish I'll just wash the Roe off in the body of water that I'm near. Throw it into a zip lock back or vacuum pack it and then freeze it.Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkeinMachine Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I leave eggs natural,except for chum & singles(legal over here in Ont).Skeins are scraped,then eggs are frozen(nice and soft).Chumming eggs are water cured,then bathed in salt water overnight till they bounce off the floor,they disperse very well when thrown out via hand or slingshot.I'll get into greater detail later,off to the pierhead now.

Priority1 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I have heard of a cure using salt and borax, but I never used it. I have used the water cure and freeze method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdB Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Freezing it fresh in packs enough for one trip is the way to go. Uncured spawn has always outfished cured spawn anytime I've been around cured spawn for trout/salmon. The only time I've seen cured spawn out produce fresh was for whitefish.

Mark Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I use the borax for skein, which works pretty good and the salt water bath for loose. I've tried the stream wash method but the eggs seemed to wash out and become opaque after two or three drifts. A salt cured batch in August lasts well into the winter steelie season in the fridge for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I to use borax however make sure you use what is called # 20 mule borax and i only do this if im making spawn bags for river steelheading regular boarx has bleech additive an will screw the spawn up. otherwise fresh froze is the most productive way ive found.

doughman Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 This is probably the easiest/cheap/clean method I have found. 1/4 cup salt1/4 cup sugar1 quart waterMix/shake ingrediants until salt/sugar has disolved. Place eggs in a bowl with solution salt/sugar and water. let stand over night in fridge, strain and rinse. Your eggs should be clean and hard, perfect for tying. marv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
