Very welcome
Great video Keith. So much good information I can’t wait for more!
@@wyattgregorio5326 thanks!
Bro, I gotta admit, those are the brightest eggs I've seen in 45 years of egg fishing. I sell eggs and wood bundles. Gotta get me some 👍
Appreciate that! Yes, start with a good clean blood free egg and they come out vibrant!
Thank you bud greatly appreciate you sharing
You bet
Thoughts on curing at room temp rather than fridge temp in the first 24-36 hours? Liquids pass through membranes quicker and more easily at higher temperatures on the cellular/chemical level etc. Thoughts and observations on experimenting with that? Always a treat listening to your expertise. Cheers!
@@jakobbengelink9962 this is something we could talk for 30 minutes about. There’s no problem with leaving them out at room temp the first 24-36 hours to expedite the process. I personally run the whole process in the refrigerator though for the 7-12 days, again with ultra fresh out of the fish inside 24 hour old eggs.
One thing I do is when it comes to fishing my eggs, when I thaw them pending the fishery I’ll leave them in a warm environment (70-80 degrees) for 24-48 hours and force restart the fermentation process. I do this for more of the warm water fisheries.
That produces a smell I’ve ranted about for years to my inside circle called “snake piss”, this smell is the game changing smell and where next level eggs fishing comes into play 👍
Hey keith, I have been using your egg cure for steelhead and works great I want to use them in upper Columbia for salmon how do I make the eggs to be hot what do need to add
Thanks
Before adding any extra chemicals, test the cure as is. The results have been in line with feedback from the upper Columbia for spring and fall chinook. The cure by its self did amazing last fall at the mouth of the klickitat 👍, but that’s as far upstream as I’ve used them over the years
Thanks for quick response
If you cure the eggs in a pint or quart jar to begin with, can you just pack them down, and then freeze them in the same jar? I guess what I am asking is, what benefit does curing them in a larger jar first and then transferring them to smaller jars give you? Do you dry the eggs at all before freezing? Or just dry right before using? Thanks for the info!!!
You can yes but a pint or quart don’t usually offer enough space for a large kings eggs. Assuming they do, there’s not enough room in the jars to shake them and disperse the cure/juices like I prefer. A larger jar or gallon bag allows that.
I’ll transport my eggs in plastic bags but don’t prefer them to cure as the chems can affect the bag. 👍
@@Ultimateshrimpcureoh, so does the chemicals mix in with the plastic? And what do u think about adding powder scents to the cure?
@@kennguyen9125 I can’t say 100% that it does but I’d rather be preventative and not take that chance. I know glass gives off no smells and the chemicals won’t affect it.
I'm new to this. I cured some eggs and didn't watch a video on how to properly cure and store eggs. I froze my eggs after three days. Should I recure it since I took it out of the freezer two days after it's been frozen? thanks
What is your process for cleaning your jars after curing? Do you use soaps? If so, do you worry about residual scents or chemicals?
@@jbutchben I think this is a great question. I’ve always used scent free soaps and detergents. I can’t say if it factors in or not but I do agree it’s worth being attentive to 👍
Howdy Keith from the good old days of the East Fork and White Salmon.
@@seanjohnson8622 Wow! It’s been quite some time since seeing ya! Howdy!!
What’s the best hook size for bobber and Egg fishing ? For coho and fall chinook

I have both your ultimate shrimp cure and your ultimate shrimp high octane. Would those work for curing eggs?
