Boy I think you and John have it pretty good Brian. At least you both row the boat too. I have a hankering for a good cigar. I will have to pick some up before the next trip.

for winter steelhead i like to use a brine.. pretty much what everyone uses... 1 cup sugar 1 cup salt 1 cup borax 4 cups water i will then add other things.. like country time (the drink mix) smelly jelly (about 2 tablespoons, seems to help firm up the eggs) other scents.. the secret to my eggs is love  |

For steelies....I really like the Amerman steelie cure. I know his salmon cure gets lots of attention, but the steelie cure is a darn good one too! Just let 'em air dry for a while before freezing or refrigerating!

Sorry for late post...
We did a big ole thing of eggs on monday and we hadnt done it in probably a year...
We butterflied em... cookie sheet....newspaper....borax and some pautzke krill stuff....eggs....borax and some pautzke krill stuff... newspaper...
Let them sit for an hour and a half.... Either cut them up into bait size chunks or leave them... take ziploc... pour some borax... eggs and pour some more borax and a lil pautzke...
They have been in the fridge since then... You all think they will be alright?

An old timer once told me that using newspaper is a bad idea because the print will bleed onto the eggs adding a funky scent. I usually use white paper towels when drying and part of a window screen mounted onto 2/4's.
Oh yeah, favorite cure?
Procure....... Simple and never done me wrong......

I haven't fished with eggs in a number of year, and don't miss the mess at all. For winter steel I use either a piece of prawn on a bead jig, or a small strip of squid on the same jig. Squid meat is the real deal! I also think it offers the fish a nice change up as very few guys fish with it! |
