Brooke Frecklington takes us through the process.<\/strong><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Experienced anglers take their bait very seriously. Live bait is best when available, but fresh dead bait is the cheapest and most accessible. Here in Vanuatu, we try our best to catch bait the day before we head out for a session with guests to keep them as fresh as possible.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>But most of the time, baitfish won\u2019t cooperate and if we don\u2019t prepare beforehand, we won\u2019t have any bait for our guests to use come fishing day. So when baitfish are plentiful, we make the most of the opportunity and fill our bait wells, then preserve them by sealing them in bags before freezing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Brooke Frecklington shows us how she prepares and preserves her baits for future use and to avoid wastage. In this video, Brooke stocks up on Bonito, which is one of the best baits around. Brooke preserves her bait in 2 ways. Vacuum sealing them with her vacuum sealing machine, and salt brining.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\r\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Preserving bait - Cryovac, Vacuum Sealing and Salting\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OJVHtTDLZCs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\r\n<\/div><figcaption>Preserve your bait. Brooke Frecklington shows you how.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is vacuum sealing?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Vacuum sealing can extend the shelf life of different food items for weeks or even months. Vacuum sealing preserves the food items by removing all oxygen inside the bag, sealing it, and effectively blocking oxygen from re-entering the bag. This is very important as it is the oxygen that causes food items to decompose and rot. Meats and fish when sealed properly can last for up to 2 or more years when kept frozen!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Let\u2019s check out how Brooke preserves her bait for the best results.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What you\u2019ll need<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ol><li>Vacuum sealer machine<\/li><li>Vacuum seal bags in precut pieces or rolls<\/li><li>A pair of scissors<\/li><li>Paper towels<\/li><li>Permanent marker<\/li><\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Preparation<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul><li>Cut your bait to your preference. Strips or butterflied or kept whole.<\/li><li>Measure and cut your vacuum seal bags according to the length of your baits, and remember to leave a bit more bag to seal at both ends.<\/li><li>Dry your baits as much as you can with paper towels. The drier the fish, the better they preserve. This also prevents damaging the machine from moisture penetrating the machine.<\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/measure-bags-with-fish-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23158\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/measure-bags-with-fish-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/measure-bags-with-fish-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/measure-bags-with-fish-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/measure-bags-with-fish-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/measure-bags-with-fish-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/measure-bags-with-fish-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/measure-bags-with-fish-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/measure-bags-with-fish.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Measure and cut your vacuum seal bags to desired length.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/dry-fish-to-get-rid-of-extra-moisture-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23154\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/dry-fish-to-get-rid-of-extra-moisture-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/dry-fish-to-get-rid-of-extra-moisture-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/dry-fish-to-get-rid-of-extra-moisture-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/dry-fish-to-get-rid-of-extra-moisture-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/dry-fish-to-get-rid-of-extra-moisture-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/dry-fish-to-get-rid-of-extra-moisture-696x392.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/dry-fish-to-get-rid-of-extra-moisture-1068x601.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.oceanbluefishing.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/dry-fish-to-get-rid-of-extra-moisture.jpg 1152w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Dry your bait as much as possible with paper towels. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Procedure<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul><li>Seal one end of your vacuum seal bag roll and cut to the desired length.<\/li><li>Place your bait inside the bag, maximizing the space without filling it up too much.

But we can prolong the life of whatever fish we catch and use them as bait. Or if possible, stock up on baits when you get the chance and preserve them. With vacuum sealers readily available almost at every home appliance store and even online, keeping baits fresh has never been easier. Do yourselves a favor and get yourself a vacuum sealer if you don\u2019t own one yet. It will make bait and food preservation easier with less mess.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"has-vivid-cyan-blue-color has-text-color wp-block-heading\">Got any tips and ideas on keeping bait fresh, feel free to post your thoughts below.<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Special thanks to Brooke for sharing her insights and make sure to follow Brooke on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC4K_x-Su12o9tI9m6MbR9qA\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/hookedonbrooke.online\/\">Instagram<\/a> and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC4K_x-Su12o9tI9m6MbR9qAhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC4K_x-Su12o9tI9m6MbR9qA\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC4K_x-Su12o9tI9m6MbR9qAhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC4K_x-Su12o9tI9m6MbR9qA\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>.<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Preserving bait by vacuum sealing can make your baits last longer and fresher for future use!
