danbo Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 freeze 'em in zip lock baggies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brifishrgy Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 cover them with pickling salt .. lay out to dry .. either a coffee tin with holes punched in the bottom or some mosquito mesh will do .. dry for a couple days... flip over and repeat .. bag em up and freeze them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misfish Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 (edited) Fry them in butter and garlic. Dont laugh,thier tastey. Just like smelts. Ok they do taste good this way,but if you want them to fish for another day,just throw them in a bucket of salt,but do not FREEZE them. I use to use this method for fishing browns off the old generator wall. They will last you a good 2 months without freezing.Just keep them cold.

danc Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 It's a shame that they died. You could have opened your own day spa had they still been alive. Newest use for minnows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciceri Posted December 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 i can put them on womens face and when they peel off it leaves a nice glitter look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammercarp Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 Put down several layers of newspaper. Dump a few handfuls of rock salt ( the stuff you throw on the sidewalk). Spead the minnows out over the salt. Check daily to see how dry they are. You can actually overdry them this way and they'll float. Put in a jar or plasic bag a keep in the fridge.

BassAsin Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 i always salt them and the first pike i caught this year was on salted minnows i had a in a ziploc bag from march never frozen i had forgot them in the compartment under the seat on my skidoo and they still worked. and are you allowed to use perch minnows as bait? better look into that i think there is a lawa against using a game fish as bait, someone correct me if i'm wrong please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brifishrgy Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 and are you allowed to use perch minnows as bait? I believe he meant minnows small enough for perch bait not actually baby perch .. you are allowed to use perch as bait but only in certain water bodies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassAsin Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 I believe he meant minnows small enough for perch bait not actually baby perch .. you are allowed to use perch as bait but only in certain water bodies i imagine pinheads then. ok thats what i thought about the perch. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
