The brine does not affect the herring scent. It still maintains the oily herring scent. More importantly, it toughens the herring up so it will not pull off the hook as you are trolling. I have been using this for years and it works. Thanks for the question.
Awesome video. Just started trolling with downriggers on the sound. Do you use that whole strip when tipping a hoochie? Or do you cut it thinner? How long do they usually stay on the hook?
I use the whole strip most often for summer chinook and fall coho. For resident coho, I sometimes cut the strip in half. It stays on the hook very well, unless you get hit. Good luck on the water this year.
Don’t throw them away!! Instead-If you have a garden - you can bury the fish carcasses with new plants, fruit trees etc., it is a fertilizer that produces great results.
Really appreciate all the good info in your videos thank you very much for helping and educating us!
Thanks for the video. I appreciate your videos and the information you provide.
What does the brine do to the herring scent? Are they still smelly or have any oil after brining? thanks
