    Making salted minnows

    in Tackle and Techniques

    Posted

    The language seems to say that in order to be "commercially processed" it needs to be labeled with 4 items: the packager/processor name, species name, quantity, and curing process. It mentions nothing about having to be bought or sold.
    I'll try to copy and paste it when I get some time on the computer.

    Making salted minnows

    in Tackle and Techniques

    Posted

    I got some minnow cure and am going to have a go at making some salted minnows.

    We tend to catch a bunch of minnows early in the season and some go to waste, so I figure if I am getting good numbers, I'd try salting some. Then vacuum seal and freeze to bring home to fish the streams of the Catskills and lower Hudson valley area.

    Anybody in the practice of curing minnows? Any tips, suggestions, or tricks are greatly appreciated.

    Main Street in Sackets is tore up... but the launch is open. My dad just swung by. The main launch is open and the secondary launch is closed. There were a few trailers in the lot, so some people got out today. Only the cleats are showing like I mentioned before.

    When we left Tuesday it was still closed, due to road work. The water is up into the parking lot a good 10ft onto the blacktop. We drove down into muskellunge bay there were docks under the water.

    I launched there Saturday... did they closed it for the week?? The water was in the lot then. When we launched the pier was an inch above the water line. When we got back only the cleats were showing.

     Lmao! Good point Fox!!! Thought you might of meant something about the swivel and guides...  I didn't mention that I split an 1000' spool onto two reels, used 40# backing to take up some space, swivel, then 500' of wire. You're totally right about seeing it after 1000' though!!!

    They are poorly marked in Stoney right now... the buoys are under water due to the elevated levels. I went out of there Sunday AM and some barely are sticking out, some are submerged. Watch out going through there. Tons of big debris out there. High water levels are picking up everything off the shore line that typically has not been touchable... it's a mine field out there.

    Thanks for the first hand update. I was just going with what I know from last season. Not sure where I'll launch this weekend, but can't wait to get up there!

    Bedford is between Sackets and Henderson on route 3. It's right across from the small golf course.

    Search for Bedford Creek Marina and Campground in Google Maps or whichever mapping program you prefer.

    Give them a call and let them know when you want a slip, early season is usually pretty open. There's a channel to follow like Stony launch, shallow sand bars, but with that water level all should be good.

    I'm planning on going up next Friday. Will most likely launch in Sackets, fingers crossed it's open. If not, then I'll launch out of Bedford Creek or Westcotts if it's not open for the season yet.

    Also, may decide on getting a slip at Bedford for the weekend. Gotta talk to my mate and see what he's thinking.

    And if the wind is suppose to be up, may even launch in Chaumont.

    Can you tell my mind is going all over the place? [emoji15] It's gonna be a loooooong week of work! 🤣

    Thanks for the report. My parents said the water was high, but the pics really show it. Funny to see an incline on the dexter ramp!!! Never seen that before! Haha

    And when I got my trophy and ran though the cut the first time.... clang clang clang clang went my antennae on every eye beam. Ugh! Everything comes down for me now!!!
