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
As always, your videos and products are great! I have heard of people vacuum sealing the eggs in plastic bags prior to freezing. Do you think this is a good idea or would you just stick with glass jars and try to minimize the air? Thanks in advance!!
@@PapaChilly26 thank you! It’s jars only for me, I can’t get behind vacuum sealing eggs in bags risking eggs getting popped in the process. I’d much prefer to vacuum seal a jar if needed. I have a dedicated bait fridge and freezer so space is not an issue.
I butterfly my eggs with a butter knife. The tiny dull serrations cut between the eggs without popping the berries themselves. Learned that from Glenn on an old episode of Hawg Quest.
Hey, thanks for your video. quick question. When fish eats cured egg, and after, people eats that fish down the road. Is there any part of those products bad for people eating those fish?
@@faqui1969 interesting question. The fish doesn’t ingest and digest the eggs before they’re harvested. So no, nothing would transfer to the meat of the fish.
@@Ultimateshrimpcurehey, thanks for your quick replay. Understand what you said. I'm brand new to salmon fishing but I notice there is a lot of cured eggs in the river after fail attempts to catch fish from many angles. So those eggs will be eaten by fish. So I'm asking you again are those products bad for people that will eat one of those fish eventually? No, I'm not talking about the ones that the fisherman will catch from his own eggs. I'm talking about other fish that are eating cured eggs, (I've even seen cured eggs in plastic containers left for good, right next to the river, when a small rain will put them in the water) from all other angles that can get their hooks set quick enough. Honest answer please.
@@faqui1969 can’t say I’ve thought that far down the line but most companies use salt, sugar and some companies use coloring to preserve the bait. Not exactly anything humans don’t already consume.
@@Ultimateshrimpcure thanks man. I was thinking about that today, when I was looking for a video to cure my own eggs and I saw a video of a guy really paying close attention to not get any of that stuff in his hands with gloves and mask. Thanks again for your info.
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. 👍
@@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
I prefer to add extras at the time of fishing rather than in the curing process, if your 100% confident the species targeted will want the ingredient your adding then yes you could. But you can’t take it back out if you choose to do so. Make sense?
Hi Keith, what’s ur process like when u thaw the egg out in the pint? Do u leave it out at room temp for a day to thaw then pour them out on a towel before fishing? Let me know when u get a chance. Thanks!
There are times I’ll lay them in a large tupperware tray on a couple layers of paper towels the eve before at room temp, I’ll wrap the top with Saran wrap and poke 4-5 holes to allow them to breathe a little or crack the lid. At times I’ll sprinkle a light amount of sodium sulfite on them to help gummy bear them up a little more. Hope that helps 😁
@@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 👍
Hey Keith great videos. Just bought my first bottle of Ultimate Cure and wondered what might be a good scent to add for Lake Michigan. Fall chinook fishing. Thanks!
@@marcodevecchis8145 thanks for reaching out and thanks for trying the cure. Hearing great feedback from your areas and the king fishing. Out of the gates I’d run the bait straight but I’m a nut for procure squid oil or their sand shrimp oil. Let me know how else I can assist!
@@marcodevecchis8145 yes, 95% of fisherman do 1-3 days cure process. The UEC does wonders when it ferments in the 7-12 day process, ultimately creating an alcohol in the egg to help dispersion of the lipids and proteins from the eggs through the water column quicker to hit their noses with more scent if that makes sense. I’ll be on the addicted podcast in a few weeks and happy to answer any egg cure questions there too 👍 My cure is different than any others on the market considering this process and the successes will express themselves when the longer term cure process happens as described.
@@BlakeBurrisoutdoors one would want to freeze the skein first before vacuum sealing it. My experience is if your vacuum sealing in plastic or a bag it would crush some of the berries. Vacuum sealing in a jar works too 👍
Hello sir! I would love to try this cure out but have no idea what I am doing. When you say cure them for 7-12 days, do you put them in the fridge for that long or do you just leave them in the jar in a cool place?
@@BonktonBoysProductions I cure in the refrigerator for 7-12 days. I’ve heard of people doing garage temps under 55 but for me it’s the refrigerator. Any other questions, hoping my video makes it an easy step by step process 👍

@@scottolson7841 oh I hear what your asking now. Yes you can fish them at any point in the curing process, I prefer mine to cure 7-12 days and yes at any point you can take and fish them, they do not need frozen unless you intend long term storage 👍

Just started a small batch 2 days ago. Very impressed with the color of these eggs. Can’t wait to fish them 👍 thank you
