Frozen anchovies can be obtained from a variety of stores and tackle shops.
Anchovies are small oily fish that an angler can use to catch a variety of game fish. However, dead anchovies quickly turn to mush and will not stay on the hook. The easiest solution to this problem is to fish with frozen anchovies. A frozen anchovy generally stays on the hook until it thaws. At that point the anchovy will likely slide off the hook and you will need to start over with another frozen anchovy.
Instructions
1. Purchase some frozen anchovies from a local store and keep the anchovies frozen until you are ready to fish. If you cannot find frozen anchovies you can purchase canned anchovies and then freeze them inside resealable plastic bags.
2. Keep the while transporting them to your fishing location by placing the plastic bags of frozen anchovies in close proximity to some dry ice. This will prevent the anchovies from thawing.
3. Select a thoroughly frozen anchovy and cut it into three pieces. Thread one of the cut portions of anchovy onto a circle hook. Only insert the hook into the frozen anchovy one time because any unnecessary twisting of the hook will damage the frozen anchovy and increase the chances that the anchovy will slide off the hook..
4. Change the position of the hook as the anchovy begins to thaw by pulling the hook all the way through the bait before turning the hook and impaling the bait on the hook a second time.
5. Replace the thawed anchovy with a new frozen anchovy when the thawed anchovy will no longer remain on the hook.
