After relieving him of his eye and throwing it on my hook, the bite picked up rather significantly. It got me to thinking of starting to save/freeze some eyes to bring with me on my trips so I can start with those and not have to find a perch first. Anyone have success saving eyes for later use?
I've harvested some eyeballs before and they work just fine as long as they are reasonably fresh and not dried out or freezer burnt. I like doing the surgery on my filet board at home rather than on the ice with cold fingers etc. The thing I would like to know is how to thread the slimy little suckers on without running the hook in to my finger!
