Bait preparation and storage

[wiperhunter2]

I usually just vacuum seal the cisco I get every year and they hold up well but Kent's way of storage sounds good. One of the problems that I have with the cisco is that they get mushy if I wait to long to cut them up when they a thawing out. After I catch the cisco, this is in January so it is already cold, I put them in a ziplock bag and put them in a cooler for the ride home. At home I just rinse them off and vacuum seal them, three at a time for use at a later date. I think I might try Kents method this year on at least part of my bait before I vacuum seal them. It might make the bait stay on the hook better and maybe the Macks will like the salty taste.
