Shrimp scent shelf life? ...Marie

[smilesforu]

I bought some shrimp scent from Tillamook bait for the salmon season. I bought a extra bottle and put it in the fridge. Well I got it out to squirt the plugs...pheww!!. From experience I know fish do not like old shrimp. What is the shelf life on this stuff?
Great stuff when its fresh. Should it be stored in the freezer?

I had a similar problem. My fridged bottle went bad in less than a month. Great product, just very low shelf life.

I have been making this shrimp scent since about September 23, 2000.

I do put preservative in it. But it is a food product for fish, not for humans.

I tell everyone to keep it cold. But if you do keep an extra bottle keep it in your freezer. After 30 to 45 days it may go bad if you don't keep it in your freezer.

So far I have had absolutly no problem with it going bad. I just checked some thats been around since last september and it smells great.

Check your fridge and make sure its running at 38 degrees. If you open your fridge several times a day it gets too warm inside to keep it fresh.

My fridge is set at 35 degrees, because it gets opened all the time.

The colder the better.

Oh and by the way some people are very sensitive to shrimp smells. Sorry about that... But the fish say "THANK YOU!"

Good luck!
