I grew up using Sardines in Mustard Sauce. 'Coon and fox really liked it. I use other things now.

It's fish- it'll catch most anything, with the exception (for me) being coyotes. You can just get an awful expensive bait if you mess with it too much.
I don't use bait for mink- when I did I used "real", indigenous stuff like crawdads and minnows. Squid worked well, too. And I don't mix lure (urine) directly with bait.
Tom- no time for Mr. Bigfoot yet. I'm still broke down.

i use the oil base. i tell myself the oil will let it handle slightly lower temps. also it allows there to just be fishy smell, no added mustard. coons like fish for sure, but maybe not mustard or ketsup.

You should always pack a can of sardines, makes great bait and/or a quick snack along the line!

What about fresh fish? I have my own lake with plenty of bluegill. When I running line I could make a few cast if I catch something great if I don't so be it.
But my other thought was to vaccum seal and freeze some this summer and then use them for bait next year.

There's a better way, for me-
Lay your fish (or shad, shad's hard to beat) on a wax-paper covered cookie sheet, evenly spaced. Spray them liberally with water, and place them in the freezer. Give them ten minutes or so, and repeat. Then pull them out, and flip 'em over, and repeat the spraying. A few coats on each side lets the fish freeze well, and lets you then bag 'em up for later. THEN all you have to do is pull a set amount out the night before your setting traps. No waste, and way less mess.
I don't do this any more (except it also works great with fish fillets for HUMAN consumption) 'cuz I don't use fish. Give it a try.
