I was curing some coho eggs the other night (Pro-Cure Wizard)using the directions for the jar method. They indicate you should "pour off the excess juice". Although I've never really understood how much juice to pour off, I realize that I'm probably wasting a valuable resource by dumping it down the drain. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could put this juice to good use as an egg scent?

Perhaps adding some cod liver oil or tuna oil to thicken it might turn it into a good scent. Any thoughts, ideas, or receipes are welcome. <@)(((><

I use it for soaking prawns and dead sandshrimp (that arn't stinky), I bet it would work on just about any bait, plug, spoon or spinner

give this one a try, get a jar of patroleum jelley, stick it in the old micro. till it turns to a liquid, then mix in your egg juice, let sit until hard again, and now you have your own egg scented smelly jelley!

Hey chum, have you field tested that?

You can also use it to cure sardine wraps for vacuum storage!

Add a little vodka and you got a top notch Bloody Mary

MB, nope never tried it! sounded good though, or did it? I have tried it with anise oil, and a couple other scents, and that did turn out o.k., it's been quite awhile ago, can't rember if i added something else in there too.(started thinking about that after i posted my reply) the thing i know for sure is that i had a whole bunch of it, and it went a loooooooooooong ways, think i ended up giving most of it to my dad and his buddies. I'll have to look and see if i wrote down exactly what i used to make it. (that might be next to impossible since i just moved, and most of my fishing stuff is still in boxes!)

I'm sure that "the juiceman" will say that fish egg juice tastes wonderful when mixed in the blender with apples, celery sticks and blueberries. Oh yeah, and he'll also claim that it will lower your cholesterol level and raise your immune system.

And it will make your eye brows grow big and bushy in no time.

FISHINBRAD, LMFAO!!!

Good one, you beat me to the punch!

Good one Driftwood. That's about the only thing I haven't used it for. I will try that out soon.

Don't let the juice go down the drain because it will stick to the pipes- slimy pipes are baaaad! I also heard you can use it to help protect the eggs during vacuum packing. Freeze the eggs, pour the juice over them, then vacuum seal.

Here is the receipt for Scots Dough. Crush half the skein,for juice.Add pickling salt,blend adding cod liver oil to maintain plasticity,keep mixing untill all salt is disolved and mixture becomes plastic. Store in small bottles with seran wrap over to exclude air in refrigerator.
This mix can be used in spawnbags or pasted onto the head of a fly. In the water the salt leaves a white streak and attracts fish.

Heard an interesting point at the steelhead symposium last weekend, I think from one of the Canadian bios. There is some chance of spreading disease when using "raw" eggs (or juice), from one infected population to another river. So, it's best to "cure" the eggs if fishing different rivers. Not sure if freezing would suffice.

Cohoangler, just use it for lube, dude.
