Bait Brining Tips

June 22, 2011 By JD Leave a Comment

Now, all we need is some wasabi!!


Pautzke Pro and one of our favorite “inmates running the asylum” that is Northwest Wild Country, Duane Inglin, dyed up these baits for an upcoming trip to Michigan. Using Pautzke Nectar and various cures, you can color and brine up all sorts of baits from herring to shad to eggs and shrimp.

For a cash course on how to make your baits taste like a Double-Double with extra cheese to the fish, click on the Fire Blog

Catch a trout & win $10,000

December 2, 2010 By JD 1 Comment

Your best bet for a record will probably come from a place like Santa Ana River Lakes, where they plant round tails well in excess of 20 pounds

If you happen to find yourself this winter staring down at a new California state record rainbow trout that you just caught, you’d better hope you caught it on a Pautzke’s product (Fire Bait, Liquid Krill, Fire Corn or the classic Balls ‘O Fire), because they’ll pay ya a cool $10K in cash for breaking the record.

Interestingly enough, the contest (which stared Dec. 1 and runs through April) is even open to anglers who fish those crazy Southern California lakes where they plant ridiculously large rainbow trout…some of which are actually larger than the current state mark of 28 pounds and change.

While I’ll happily take 10 large and a state record of any kind, I’d much rather break that state record with an anadramous rainbow rather than one that arrived in a truck. The contest is limited to the first 25,000 anglers that preregister at Pautzke.com

The Red Curtain of Death

With trout season here, it’s time to bust out the trick Jedi stuff! Before we go on, let’s make a little pact here. I’ll divulge my favorite stream trout getter — the “Red Curtain of Death” (RCD) — if you promise to practice a little catch-and-release. This method has been so stinkin’ deadly for me in the past that I fear you guys could go out and clean out a creek with it. So, keep a fish for two for the pan and let a few go too, okay? Deal?
