[Gatiepie2]

Can anyone help? How does one keep chocka fresh after you have defrosted it. I am tired of wasting bait.

Gatiepie intersting question, i actualy asked Mr Da Silva @ Alpha today and he said as long as you keep it chilled it will be fine for another days fishing.

What i normally do is i pack a couple of ice bricks in my cooler box, place it on top of your Chokies and keep box closed when not in use, also i have been told that chokka will change colour once it goes Off, i think it's pink...

What i normaly do after a session if i've got some left is give it a rinse in saltwater,remove the skin and wrap them in clingwrap.

keep it away from fresh water. clean the skin off and rince in the sea.

Keeping it cold goes without saying!

Once it defrosts clean it well and keep it on ice in clean ziplocs with the tubes separate from the head . Otherwise clean and keep it in fresh sea water till you go home then pop in clean ziploc and freeze some say freeze with sea water . most nb is the cleaning part
