There are times when you just can’t find any bait for salmon. I’ve looked at some of the vacuum pack stuff at sporting goods store they are calling salmon eggs but frankly I think you may just be wasting your money trying to catch a salmon using that so called bait.
The following is a recipe for tuna balls that at times works really good. I’ve caught salmon using them fishing with bobbers and I have also had a guys in my boat catch salmon using them back bouncing. Here is how to make them:
Captain Mik’s Tuna Balls
You will need:
1. Premium Tuna in oil - one can
2, some old salmon eggs that have been in the freezer for a couple of years,
3. Mike’s Glo Scent Oil - Shrimp.
4. Small Puff balls - pink.
5. Raspberry Jello - one pkg.
6. Wedding vale - pink or red
7. Wonder Thread - 6 lb. Mono also works
In large bowl:
1. Drain off Tuna oil and save in separate container.
2. Mix in the Jello with the Tune to desired color.
3. Finely chop up roe and combine with tuna and jello, leave some eggs intact.
4. Add small hand-full of the puff balls, mix,
5. One half bottle of Mike’s Shrimp Oil, mix
6. Cut the wedding vale into 4″ squares.
7. Spoon out enough mixture onto the 4″ squares to make a ball about the size of a quarter, hold the corners of the wedding vale and use the thread to make a tight ball of mixture. Tie tightly and cut off excess and place in a clean jar and add tune oil and allow to site overnight. FISH ON !
