Fish Bait Recipes to Make at Home

Curing Salmon Eggs

Whenever you are fishing for large sport fish, aged salmon eggs are the ideal bait. Largemouth bass, pickerel, lake trout, and other large fish species love them.

Here's how to cure salmon eggs to use as bait:

When you remove the eggs from a salmon you are cleaning, keep the egg sacs--also called skeins--intact. Cover a big, flat,moveable surface with 1/4 inch of borax. Cut the egg sacs (skeins) across the membrane in sections of 3 to 4 inches. Lay the egg sac (skein) sections 1 inch apart on top of the borax. Scatter more borax over the top to produce a light coating. Be sure all egg sacs are covered.

Move the large moveable surface that the eggs are on into a sheltered spot that has ample circulation all around. The eggs must not be in direct sunlight and must not get wet, so be sure they are safe from precipitation. Permit the sacs to dry for 2 to 3 days, making sure to turn them every 12 hours.

Pick the egg sacs out of the borax and shake off any Arrange them in plastic bags or storage containers. The egg sacs are ready to use when they are completely dry and feel leatherlike, but elastic. If eggs are well cured, they can be kept in the plastic bags or containers to be used on anticipated angling trips.

Cheese Bait

Cheese bait can be used to catch catfish, bream, and carp. In fact, carp particularly love cheese bait. So if you're looking to angle any of these species or a boastful carp that's been hanging around your fishing hole, here's how to construct your own cheese bait:

Utilize 10 ounces (284 grams) of pie pastry and roll it flat on a cutting board or counter top. Smear the pastry with cured cheddar flavor. Add 6 ounces (170 grams) of grated mature cheddar cheese and 4 ounces (115 grams) of crumbled Danish blue cheese. Make a point it's crumbled to fine grains.

Fold the pastry over the cheese so it is completely covered and roll again. Continue this process until the pie pastry and the cheese are melded thoroughly and the cheese is absorbed by the pastry.

Form the paste into a big ball and knead by hand. Add 10 drops of the mature cheddar seasoning to a freezer bag and arrange the cheese paste ball into the bag. Put in the freezer.

When it's thawed, this bait has a very appealing consistency and texture, and an extremely hefty cheesy aroma. Roll the thawed paste into cheese balls and place into a container for your next fishing trip.

After you put a cheese ball onto your hook, adjust the hook's point into the center, cast and wait patiently for the fish to bite. Optionally you may add a few drops of red food coloring to the paste, but it isn't requisite.
