Thanks Rod Caster!!! Salties are very easy to make... any left over minnows you have when coming back home from fishing, lay them on a piece of wax paper, generously pour pickling salt (corse) on them so that you cover them, fold the paper so as to not loose any salt and put it into a zip lock freezer type bag and into the freezer
I do this since up here I cannot use live bait, only dead / frozen minnows The salt will harden them nicely and they won't be mush when they thaw
