- Keith Archer covers what he adds to his Coon Shrimp for the Competitive fisheries. Spring Chinook and Steelhead can be finicky so adding these bait oils can make all the difference.

Excellent tutorial! Thank you for an approachable technique. I fish southwestern coastal Oregon. I believe these techniques will work extremely well here
Glad it was helpful!
I’m confident Coon Shrimp are one of the most underrated baits out there. Using them as a SCENT SPONGE and scent holder is a key factor to successes in pressured fisheries.
thanks for the video. Since you are trying to flood the fishes nose with scent , why not use the Pro Cure water soluble scents?
Great question. I’m a huge fan of oil based scents as they tend to stick to the offering longer than the water based scents. Water based scents tend to wash off much quicker.
Another reason I prefer oil based is as they sit in the solution they eventually are reduced molecularly and disperse even better through the water column.
Hope that makes sense. 👍
Great video! Any scents you would add for summer sockeye?
Sockeye aren’t super picky. One of my faves is pro cure krill powder for the CR sockeyes
Be sure to use the smallest of your shrimp too
@@Ultimateshrimpcure Thanks for the info👍
Feel free to reach out with ideas of other video's you'd like to see... - Keith
Keith, do you add the oils when you're doing the initial cure? or do you wait 24, 48, 72 hrs ect. adding after the cure process started or completed?
What about with eggs can I mix oils in them during the cure process?
I see you responded to a similar comment, you wait 72hrs on the shrimp.
I used mine 18 hrs later 2 winter steelhead 1 hifin 1keeper mouth of the clack plunking they work later nate
Thanks for the heads up! Well done 😁
Do you add the scent oils at curing time or after thier cured. Or does it matter?
Thanks
I add the scents about 72 hours after the curing process starts. Gives the shrimp time to firm up and color up first. 👍
Keith do you thaw the shrimp before you cure them. Thanks
Great Q.. Thawing is not necessary but if you choose to sort baits it’s easier when they’re thawed!
So where do you get live coon shrimp or do they only come frozen?
They only net them a couple times a year commercially that I know of and that’s around June up near anacortes. Private boats may have more access than that hut would have to look into it.
@@Ultimateshrimpcure Thank you. I live on the north Oregon coast and normally use eggs and/or sandshrimp. The local sporting goods store has just started carrying cured coon shrimp but as with most of my baits I like to do it myself. How does your cure work for sandshrimp. I have tried several different homemade concoctions with mixed results. Some horrible, some good, but none of them fished like live bait.
I haven’t tried curing sandshrimp with my recipe, I would think it would work though as I’ve fished some commercial brands and I believe my cure out does their choices.
So will this cure work on Sockeye?
Absolutely, it’s tried and true on Columbia River Sockeye so that leads me to believe it should work everywhere 👍
@@Ultimateshrimpcure right on thank you... I'll be trying the cure up at Baker lk
I do the NW bait and scent cure, add rock salt and sugar, anise oil and go fish and absolutely kill summer steelhead where I live.
Absolutely, that’s awesome. Lots of varieties out there for sure. Would love to see how the Ultimate Shrimp
Cure as suggested in this video does next to your bait 😁
@@Ultimateshrimpcure would love to try it! If I ever see it in the stores around eastern Oregon will buy!
What part of eastern Oregon are you located? Some of the stores over here do ship 👍
