For some reason, redsides simply do not benefit by being frozen.  Even when salted they become very soft when thawed.  Fish still eat them but they are difficult to properly hook and fish...without them folding up and sliding off the hook.  And one tap from a fish gets the goodies...often without getting the hook.

That has been my experience also, but I keep hoping for the best and expecting the worst.
