The fumes more than the metho is the ideal.
Drain Metho and place in clean Butter/Marg container and freeze.
When you go fishing, you may lose about 5 metres on a surf cast.
Somedays the frozen ones will outfish the fresh ones and vice versa.
If only fishing for a few hours, return yabbies to freezer and reuse.
Have done this, up to three times
