After relieving him of his eye and throwing it on my hook, the bite picked up rather significantly. It got me to thinking of starting to save/freeze some eyes to bring with me on my trips so I can start with those and not have to find a perch first. Anyone have success saving eyes for later use?
I always save the eyes. I just refrigerate them. You do have to use them up within a week or two though or they get pretty nasty. When I freeze them they seem to turn to mush when they thaw out, but I don't prep them with salt or anything.
