We’re all going anyways

Rig up a wire in your teaser head, run it along the spine of the herring. Helps to make & keep a nice bend for a perfect roll.How to you guys rig your herring to a teaser head ? Can’t afford anchovies lol but have a bunch of herring
Bathe the herring in salt bath for a few days ?I just jam/jelly them in there. I rig a longer trailer because I hook them with the treble closer to the head. That way they don't over-bend and death spiral. I don't like modifying them or using the larger herring heads. But I also dry my bait out like crackers, never have a an issue with it falling apart that way. I've used the same bait for more than one fish several times.
I slather in just rock salt (iodine free) in the fridge for a couple days until they look like stinky, shiny raisins.Bathe the herring in salt bath for a few days ?
Salt for a day, drain, re-salt then leave open in a tray in the fridge for at least another few days.Bathe the herring in salt bath for a few days ?

Once they hit that point you can just leave them rigged and hung from your tower. No birds will touch them and they keep just fine in the sun. They become reconstituted as soon as they hit the water.Leaving your bait packed in salt in the freezer for a year works well to dehydrate them too
Now that’s a pro tip right there. Just need a tower…Once they hit that point you can just leave them rigged and hung from your tower. No birds will touch them and they keep just fine in the sun. They become reconstituted as soon as they hit the water.![]()
I was in the Lifetimer, glad to hear you got redemption for that lost fish. At least someone out there caught somethingFished West Van yesterday from 9:30 to 2:30. Hooked a fish right in front of the Cap mouth. Pulled off a good amount of line. Unfortunately we lost it. Damn leader broke! I’m usually OCD with my gear but I guess it happens. Fortunately we got another one just before we pulled lines out. My Son fought it perfectly. Ended up being a nice red. Just under the 80cm. As a bonus we got a killer whale show on the way back to boat launch!!! Overall a decent day.
