I have a live well I made out of a cut down 55 gal barrale. I have a pump in the barrale to cirulate the water while travle. Then with a turn of a vaule I have freash water pump in and old water pump out while in the boat.
I like to get my Herrin and put wire ties thur the nose and also thur thr back in front of the dorsal fin. They will live just fine in the tank pre riged this way. When ready for the fish just put the hook into the loop and pull. Cut off the tag end and you are ready to go.
Dead herrin get put into the deep frezze. Then when using frozen herrin i like to cut them from the middle of the gill to the vent hole. This gives great action to them and they work great.
I like to also grind them up in to chum. I grind them up and pour into a platic 1/2 gal milk jug. Then freez them when I go fishing I have a 16oz weight tied to a rope. I attach the jug buy the handle and punch it full of holes. Drop over board and it will defrost slowly releasing the goodies for the fish.
