Any special advice for brine?

 

 

Water and pickling salt.  I sometimes put a little pautzke fire cure natural in the mix as well if I have some left over from steelhead season.  I just soak em in a mason jar in my fridge.

Most of the stuff you buy in the tackle shop are already brined, I think its got something to do with the VHS and the DEC regulations. Even the whole stuff is usually brined, if you can find it. Nobody seems to have whole green label herring... found some whole red label alewives at All Seasons but I prefer the herring.
