Advice...

Keep fish whole rather than pre-cut. They will last even longer and thaw in better shape.

Don't over pack the bags. You need a good margin for a proper vacuum and a proper sealing.

Portion out what you think is a reasonable amount of bait for a day of fishing and package them in separate bags. Freeze-thaw cycles degrade bait quality and freshness.

Other than that...it's fairly basic.

Thanks for the tips.

I'll post some reports on how I make out on this thread later this year.
