^ I BUY THOSE SHRIMP RINGS FROM SAFEWAY, THAW THEM OUT, PUT EM IN A RUBBER MAID CONTAINER, AND ADD SOME SALT TO FIRM THEM UP, ALONG WITH SOME PRO CURE WIZARD HOT RED, SHAKE THEM AROUND 4 A BIT, PUT THEM IN THE FRIDGE OVER NIGHT, THEN IN THE MORNING B4 I HEAD OUT I PUT THEM IN A ZIP LOCK WITH A LITTLE BORAX ! THEY LOOK AMAZING IN THE WATER ! THEY GLOW !

Good report. I've found that borax makes them soft and fall apart. But then again, i haven't salted them before boraxing them.

They sure do. I do the same thing with my shrimp and in these water conditions they sure glow. I tried them out on sunday on the veddar and they where glowing in the water.

The IGA in Langley (no idea about the other ones) has the shrimp rings on sale for 5 bucks, AND 2 for 1!

Hey, after curing them, how (or can you) store them for longish term?  Can you do a ton of them to use throughout the season or is it better to actually plan ahead? (uugh!)

i use prawns, shell on and i don't do anything to them other than cook em. After a day on the water i just throw em back in the freezer till next time out. I generally do up 2 dozen at a time but rarely go through a dozen in a day. I've caught fish on prawns that have been frozen and thawed 2 or 3 times.

^ I USUALLY JUST DO UP ENUFF TO LAST ME A DAY OF FISHING, I DON'T LIKE TO WASTE MY BAIT ! FRESH BAIT FOR STEELHEADING IS BEST, IF U REUSE YOUR BAIT 2 MANY TIMES, IT WEAKENS, AND WON'T STAY ON YOUR HOOK 2 WELL, AND IT BUILDS UP AN ODOR ! SO I SUGGEST TAKE U ONLY CURE UP WHAT UR GONNA NEED, AND SAVE THE REST FOR ANOTHER DAY !

PS. THICK RICK...........CHECK THE DIVISION STANDINGS  ;D

Good to see a BC boy hoisting the cup. Like last year when Andrew Ladd brought Lord Stanley's Cup back to Maple ridge. I cheer for the Aves unless they're playing vancouver
