- How to salt preserve Squid Bait for fishing.
Instead of throwing out your unused bait, salt preserve it and reuse it.
You can salt preserve squid and also most baits so it doesn't need freezing and can be kept in your Boat or Tackle box.
It preserves and Hardens the Bait, and intensifies the scent for more fish

Trevor: IM a professional fisherman. Even though everything here was elementary, it was interesting to watch. Good tip on the Iodized salt. I watched the whole video because you have a nice personality and a great way of speaking. I enjoyed the show. Im going to go look and see if you have any fishing videos. Im sure you do. Well done!

Loving the tip 😂
AWESOME - glad I could help.
Very useful. I will make some to take to Greece in a few weeks. Thankyou!

Thank you I'm definitely going to make me some bait this way I have been looking for new methods to try out while fishing with my family.
I find it works very well and seems to catch a lot of fish
What a cracking tutorial thank you, subscribed
Awesome, thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it
I am not sure, I use sea salt non-iodised. if the rock salt is non iodised I can't see a problem
@Icy- ChickenFrost I havent used rock salt....Give it a trey and see what happens....as long as it s non iodized
Thank you for this video. I look forward to trying this.
I have found it works well and keeps the bait on the hook

Tq for sharing..
You are most welcome
Hey there Captain Dohnt !!!
Hope you are doing fine !
I find this video extremelly useful and I WILL try to make this asap.
Just one question please : does the salted squid spoil at any case ? ( for example : extreme heat or sunshine )
Thank you in advance !
Yes extreme heat and sunshine will spoil it ,it should be kept in a cool darkplace, best if it is kept in a refrigerator or frozen but it will keep for a fair while in a cool dark place
Thanks for the video!!! after the process, if you keep them in freezer until next time you fish. and if you thaw it to use, is it going to be close to how it was or it’s gonna. break off easier than not freezing? if I dont wanna freeze it can i keep it in refrigilator for more than 6 months?
Just repack it in salt and then you can put it in the refrigerator indefinitely
thank you for sharing my friend..
My pleasure young sir
hello sir thank you for all your videos it helps me for my future fishing. I wanted to know, once the squids have been put in the salt, I can leave them at room temperature or should I put them in the fridge to continue to salt them. could i also flavor my baits but you advise me when once salted or before and with what would work the most? thanks
While they are in the salt leave them in a cool dark place like a room of the house after you take them out of the salt you can refrigerate them, they will last longer or you can leave them in the salt in a cool dark room
@@FishingwithTrev Hello sir thank you for your return. I will do what you told me. It helps me with my fishing trips. Can I flavor the baits? like sardine oil, bacon ... What do you recommend to marinate them?
@@gino55yo You could use Sardine or tuna oil ......try other flavors and see what happens ......the fun is in trying different things and see what works,
@@FishingwithTrev how do you go about adding the flavor?
I don't add flavour I leave them natural but you can add it just before you put it in salt
As long as I avoid using iodized salts, does the grind matter? I'm guessing the finer the salt the better? I have some pickling salt I have no use for.
As long as it's non-iodised any coarseness of salt will work
Just subscribed & will probably find the answer in your videos, but:
- how does the salt preserved squid perform compared to frozen or fresh? I've always liked mettwurst & salami over the fresh stuff - are fish the same? G'day from South Australia.
When you put salted squid in the water it reconstitutes back to how it was before salted but stays tougher - the good part is it keeps good for months -
Ps I am starting a new channel - Fishing with Trev - - New videos are going there th-cam.com/channels/uLU6nHuMK6Rzh1R7V3X7vw.html
(im an old South Australian) G'day from Mackay Qld
Hi Captain I wanted to know if you can you use Borax instead during the second step when you're storing the bait
borax only keeps the bait supple it doesn't preserve it - you can put borax in with the salt when you first put the bait in.
Hey Man, what type of salt do you used for the red box? It looks different from the one in the transparent box.
It's the same salt just one has been used before and the other one is new salt the new salt is in the clear box
Gday there Trevor, where do you get your squid, I’m told they get them at the harbour sometimes but never heard of them caught in the pioneer cheers ( I’m a local )
You can get them under the lights at the harbour at night-time if I can get them. most of the time I buy the large squid bait
Hey Trev can you use the salt from drying the bait in your container that you keep in your boat ? Or is it to gluggy? Also could you use this technique with all bait ?
Hey Darryl the salt i used is a bit moist you have to dry it out in the sun, and you can use the same technique on most bait
Hi there, just a quick question, would you be abl to preserve octopus like this as well?
I think so - give it a try - that's how I found out to salt all my different baits, by trial and error
Tell me how you go.
👍
👌
is it okay to mix different baits in this process and storage?
Yes it is I have a box in my boat with three different baits in it
great video, can we use these salt baits for freshwater fishing?
I haven't used it for freshwater I'm not sure how the fish like the salt on the bait
Give it a try and get back to me if it works or not it would be interesting
hello sir I wanna know if its advisable to cut the squid into hook size pieces and the bury in salt?
Yes that is a good Idea
Hi, Can we keep the squid in salt container for many days in room temperature ?
I have had mine in a container in my boat for a couple of months now and it seems to be ok still as long as it's only used for bait
Tip: add a few tblspoon of borax to keep it from melting
Yes borax keeps the bait supple and from going stiff
Great idea 👍 can u do this to finger mullet
Yes you can salt most Baits
Awesome thanks and be blessed
Is it ok to use 100% pure sodium chloride salt/NaCL (without added chemicals) to salt squid and shrimp bait? Salt used for freshwater fish tank
As long as it's non iodised I can't see a problem
I use pool salt or non iodised cooking salt as it is a lot cheaper
Geat video! But what does it mean when you put your bait in salt and the salt dissolves onto the bottom??
This is the meat Juices (water) being extracted from the fish in the preservation process, leaving only the oils and flesh. (oils = scent)
Thank you!! But do you know if Morton salt is good for my bait? Because it doesn't say if it is iodized or not
And should I drain the juices or leave it??
@@daggerd6317 Dispose the juices as they are the waste product of the procedure
@@daggerd6317 iodised salt usually has it written on the packet....so it should be ok
Is this for fresh water or salt water fishing
That's a good question Robin I know it works well for salt water, I haven't actually tried it in fresh yet. since they're not freshwater species I'm not sure how they would go.
I smell the smell of the squid i use for bait over here in central new jersey usa.
And when it is salted it intensifies the scent
so do salted yabbies work?
Yes they do toughen them up but only do it with the larger ones
You mentioned something about using borax but never put it in, what the go with the borax and how much are you ment to use vs salt mixture?
I find I don't need the borax because it is to keep the bait supple, and you use one cup of borax to 1 to 1 1/2 kilos of salt
@@FishingwithTrev ahh yep too easy, thanks for the info and keep up the vids it’s always great getting new tricks for fishin!.
Anytime I hope you enjoy your fishing
Can you do this with small fish as well ?
Yes you can, check out my video on how to salt preserve pilchards, on my TH-cam channel
@@FishingwithTrev thanks
Can you use frozen squid tubes if you can't get fresh whole ones? Cheers
Yes just thaw them out, Pat them dry and pack them in salt
@@FishingwithTrev Top fella, thanks for getting back!!!! Also approximately how long do they last?I suppose I could vac pack them in smaller batches to make them last longer? Cheers
Packed in salt at room temperature they will last a couple of months, if you refrigerate they do you last longer, if you freeze them they last indefinitely
@@FishingwithTrev thank you so much, cheers
You are welcome
Does the salt prevent the squid from turning pink?
The squid I am using has stayed white
Do you refrigerator in the boat
As long as it's packed in salt there is no need to refrigerate it will last longer if you do refrigerate
Nice tip thank you. But to be honest... the firt time i'll do you'r trick. I will leave it in fresh water to unsalt it and try it with garlic and parsley to see the taste and texture... yumm . The fishes will waits
Good luck, but I'm not sure how it will go
These squids are fresh or from refrigerator?
These squid were fresh but they're about a week old
Can I use squid from the supermarket?
only use bait from your local area so you don't introduce any diseases
How long time it's workable
packed in salt at room temp a it will last a couple of months, in the fridge it will last a lot longer, but f frozen t will last indefinite
Would pickling salt any good
I'm not sure as long as it is non iodised it should be ok
pool salt works good and cheap, $8 for 20kg where I am, Aussie
@@thebob3712 thanks I'll have to look into it
@@thebob3712 pool salt is good
How long will they keep?
I have had up to 3 months @ room temp - packed in salt
What kind of salt is this ?( just to make sure )
NON-Iodized salt
Is there a video how to bait the squid on the hook?
I do show how to do it on a couple of my videos I can't remember which worms
How much leakage do you get in the bottom of the container
Hey Col I haven't noticed any at all yet
Can you use salt on prawns for bait or are they too thick
Thanks mate , will experiment myself and see how things go .
@@735gav hey Col I can't see any reason why you can't salt your prawns as well it should work just as good
Trevor Dohnt yeah just wasn’t sure. Would be worth trying it to see
Does it matter if you get whole squid from like a store?
only use local product so you don't introduce diseases to the area.
@@FishingwithTrev ok thank you very much
How long does it last?
frozen forever - room temp and repacked in salt a few months
I had some in my boat for 3 months and still good
@FishingwithTrev ok thank you very much also thank you for responding :)
What are the benefits of salting the bait ? Thanks
No need to freeze or refrigerate, Keep in your Boat or Tackle box !!!
It toughens and Preserves the bait as well as intensifies the scent
Is that asthma you got? Try Advair and montelukast. Damn it sounds like you’re struggling there.
That's just my normal breathing
how long would you recommend leaving it out without refrigeration etc
At room temperature I have had it packed in salt for 3 months in my boat as long as it is packed in salt at room temperature it should last quite a long time
@@FishingwithTrev Thanks
Where do you get your large squid?
I bought those locally for the video, but I get them out at the marina.
Guess I’ll be using the small ones available here :/
Can you do this to whole squid? Would it be too thick? I want to catch adult leopard shark by using bait that the little guys can’t swallow.
Also, I wonder if anyone has tested the iodine advice or if it just an idea that passes from one fish man to the next? I heard of someone using iodinated salt with no problem. It probably makes sense to avoid iodine when convenient even if it hasn’t been put through a controlled study.
Your fame has spread widely. I’m watching from the other side of the world...
If you try salting Whole Squid be sure to get salt into the hood of the squid to ensure it pernitrates as much as possible.
I haven't tried iodized salt as the Old Guy I learnt it from many years ago said not to use it as he said the fish don't like it .
MAny people have used regular salt just fine. I think it is just a myth.
How do you handle the bucket of salt after its wet? Seems like a waste to throw it out. Do you just dry it in the sun and reuse?
After I use the salt I put it on a plastic tray out in the sun to dry I've used the same salt 10 to 12 times
Why not use iodised salt?
The fish don't like it - it puts out a different scent.
How many times can you reuse the salt? Thank you
I have dried mine out and reused it heaps of times
Will kosher salt work
I have never tried it as long as it is non iodised it should work
Do you actually have to go through all the effort of cutting them? Why not just salt the whole thing ?
I cut them just to make sure that everything is covered in salt possibly there is no need to as long as you got some salt up the tubes of the squid
I cut mine into bait size pieces and soak with Soy or Oyster sauce. Work's brilliantly for Sea bream.
There are a lot of good recipes out there I might actually give a few of them a try in later episodes
@@MarcGrayTWOOM do you also add minced garlic for flavor?
Bacteria
I had prawns in my boat in the box of salt for 3 months and the bacteria didn't seem to hurt them
No i meant you said germs its bacteria wich decomposes but no wotries your video is great and i did an experiment with iodized and non iodized salted baits fish go for both actually caught more off the iodized sea salt and shrimp but either way the salt preserves will not allow bacteria to take hold
Awesome
I got the biggest bas with a piece of hot dog 🌭 and 12 red fish 🐟 salt water with pieces 😑 of tilapia. AMERICANS make everything soooo complicated 🙄 people come from Cuba and people come from the Dominican Republic in home made ships and here you have to get a boat 🚢 🙄 for everything then all this laws
I will have to try hot dog see how I go
@janetmatos, Have you tried burger with cheese too?
I will look into it
