I know guys that cure roe and they catch as many fish as the guys using uncured stuff. I think the most important thing is to store it properly... Cured or uncured...
Yup, I make sure there's no blood or crap on them, then dry them on a baking sheet until they are a bit tacky. Then seal and freeze them.
I add nothing at all. I know a lot of guys that do cure, I think it's all personal preference.
No need to cure them. Do you have a vacuum pack machine? If not do this...
Store about 1 days fishing worth of roe in a ziplock bag. Suck out the excess air with a straw.. Store all those smaller separate bags in a bigger ziplock.. Use the straw trick with that big bag as well. What this does is only allow you to defrost as much roe as you need. Need to tie some bags? Remove one of the smaller ziplocks and defrost only that.. No point in defrosting then refreezing all your roe because you gotta tie up 20-30bags for a day of fishing.
I was going to say Jer, I hope you weren't going to read this, lol!
Also, I was going to show you the custom transducer cover the previous owner put on the boat so it doesn't splash all over the place when going WOT. It's pretty slick.
You can also get the same thing if you are trying to reel in under high load. Same idea, the reel is flexing and things that are not supposed to touch, do.
If it knows where to crap and doesn't bug up your furniture you're already one step ahead of the game.
Kids would be devistated, think about your family pet when you were kid.. Imagine getting that taken away?
