Go to Wal-Mart pharmacy dept. and get a bottle or 2 of the 91% isopropyl alcohol. When you find shiners buy extra and cure them right away with the alcohol. I have the bait store put them into gallon plastic bags with no water. I then put them into a colander and drain them of as much water as possible put them back into the gallon bags and cover with the alcohol and squeeze out most of the air. They will start to cure almost immediately in the alcohol. Just Ice them down for the day and put into freezer when you get home. they will not freeze but they stay nice and cold and firm. This method works with the golden shiners also. It is a lot cleaner and less messy than the salt routine, I think it does a better job also. I use old peanut butter jars to store them in while in the freezer for less chance of alcohol leaks.
