Chub Preperation

[TubeDude]

Here is a pictorial writeup I put together.  It shows freezing carp minnows but you treat chubs the same way.  I do not salt mine before freezing, but some guys do...and it does firm them up.  But if you process theme as soon as possible out of the water...and freeze them in a little water to remove all the air bubbles...your frozen chubs will be as firm as freshly caught months down the line.
