Have a look at the above address for salmon university. I've had great results following their formula for brine. I think the scent is optional (I don't use it). And I don't need the huge amount they suggest(cut it in half at least). Furthermore, the brine seems to work great on both herrings and chovies. Lastly, always keep your bait cool (brined or not, keep it out of the sun!) or it will turn into useless mush in a hurry.
For more info, search previous posting with the search engine provided (hey, did you know you could do that here?). I seem to recall lots of good feedback to similar questions not long ago.
Good luck!
Remember, it's called "fishing," not "catching."
