Herring

After watching a small herring spawn yesterday I figured that it’s time to order myself a cast net from pnt.
Regs say 20kg. Anyone know how that relates to a 5 gal bucket??
Also what’s the best way to pack them for bait for the season?
 
Freeze them on cookie sheets apart or in a box between layers of wax paper so you can pop them out individually. You can also use some icing sugar in a shaker and sprinkle on them as it helps them from getting yellow bellies and gill plates prior to freezing. Nice part if you freeze them individually first then bag them you can grab only what you need with out wasting. Probably be pretty close I would guess weight wise. Wear garbage clothes those herring eggs stick like crazy even after going through a wash lol!
