Re Freezing Bait

[cuckoo]

Hi all after fishing mag lane monday i had fresh peeler and frozen peeler, after i used up all the fresh, i started on the frozen,by the time i left i had 8 frozen peelers left defrosted by now,i thought about the price of them and made a decision to take them home and re freeze them,ive never done this before,and was wondering if this was a stupid idea or maybe it will work can anybody help please....! cheers lee.

If i were you mate i d get them in the freezer.
A lot of people will tell you not to touch frozen peeler but ive had some of my best smut sessions with it.
The other night all but one of my smuts was caught on frozen,it seems to be a lot more juicey
Fish will eat rotten,worms,squid,mackerel,limpets and shellfish that have been washing about the sea for days after a storm so why not a slightly unfresh peeler?
One thing i always do though is remove the gills and wrap one by one in cling film.

Crab meat deteriorates so quickly. That’s why edible crab is cooked whilst still alive. I doubt it will be much good being frozen twice. Sorry.

i keep my crabs in a cool bag so any i don't use are still frozen and can be put back in the freezer. saves a lot of waste and money.

if you do re- freeze them i would keep them seperate from the fresh frozen ones. so you know what your taking. smelly re-frozen worms are good for flatties so maybe they like the same with crabs.
