I have been fortunate to get my hands on some powder salt. I just put the filets in a bucket and dump a few cups of salt on the filets and stir them in the salt until they are heavily covered in salt. I then vacuum pack them and toss them in the freezer. With them being salted they are not frozen stiff, even at zero degrees. However, even though they aren't stiff they are still zero degrees, when taken out of the freezer (I got frostbite once to prove it).

I found that I have too much of some bait and not enough of other bait. The bait that I need to replenish are chubs. I have always fished for chubs in the spring or summer. Has anyone, on BFT, fished for chubs (likely, from shore because the boat is at Lee's Marine), at Lost Creek, this time of year and if yes, how have you done?
We have had success near the boat ramp this fall. And by the dam but more in the boat ramp area
Thanks, I have had my best luck by the boat ramp, so it sounds like they are still in the same area this time of year. Have you found them hugging the bottom or suspended? If suspended, how far down?
