Salt or Alcohol to Preserve Emerald Shinners?

[Dollardon]

I’ve done both Salt is very good and rubbing alcohol with Anna soil is fine as long as you keep them in the freezer and keep them on ice in your boat or they go to crap in a couple of hours ! So in short I prefer the salt but what I found is you have to hook them through the head that works best for me good luck tight lines

I have the best luck with isopropyl 90. Just pour in in a zip lock on top of your left over minnows and put them in the freezer. they come out a little tough which IMHO is better than fresh. Firmer minnows stay on better. i've caught 3 perch on the same minnow
