How To Preserve Bait Fish for High Quality Future Use

October 5, 2024

You spent time or money getting a hoard of fishing bait. Don’t waste that investment! Here is how to preserve bait fish for storage in your refrigerator. You need to know how to freeze bait fish to avoid ruining it! This applies to cut bait as well! The good news is the solution is not expensive. Vacuum sealers run around $35 now and the bags are dirt cheap from OutofAir.com (around 13 cents per frozen bag of bait using my approach!). I buy my OutofAir bags on Amazon to get free shipping with Prime.
