[QUOTE="Frogman Ladue, post: 265320, member: 8253"] Way back when, when there were no bag limits on Perch in Lake Erie, it wasn't unheard of for three guys to haul in 300 perch for a day. They all got cleaned and frozen in water filled, milk cartons. (Same principle as the bag and water.) It kept the freezer burn of the fish, stacked nicely, when you lost power there was enough "ice" in the freezer to keep everything frozen. This is the way we did it up here. Everyone was ethnic and ate fish on Friday's. It was understood that going to the market to [i]buy[/i] fish was a proposterous idea. Any extra minnows were put in a freezer bag with rock salt. This froze the minnows and kept them separated from each other. In some cases, frozen salty minnows worked better than fresh ones or the worms. The salt water soak comes from hunting. The brine pulls blood out of the meat and kills off some of the microbes. [/QUOTE]
