what rigs

[darren]

hi lads what boat rigs do i use this time of year iv bought day lights and hock eys will these be ok ????

[Norman]

yup darren, nee probs ........... bait some with rag and some with squid (and crab if berts left any)

[darren]

cheers mate do you no what a 4 to 5 wind is ? is that a strong wind ???

[northeast1]

20-25mph wind Sat but it is from the west, fast drift but over rough ground wont be that much of a pain as the wrecks. The water is like coke at the mo so bait is the key, lots and often i would say. Lots of good inshore marks that should produce at this time of year but the season is late, still not showing any great numbers of coalie and no sandeels yet from the piers, 1st year in 4 that not caught one before now.

Flowing trace, 6/0 pennel and as much crab as you can afford to put on in one go!

[darren]

Thanks all you have all been a great help i found a free slip way at hebburn on that web site it says you can launch small boats very easly there so im going to give it a go and see what happens

[Charlie_Thompson]

[QUOTE=Charlie_Thompson;132652]you might catch nowt and die

I hope not.i wouldnt want the wife to have her own way

[Oblickta]

take care and enjoy but dont take any chances

[Oblickta]

baited daylights never fail to catch summit somewhere but I like Roydds prawns or a one up one down rig or flowing trace with bait early season

[gazzawill]

try bouncing a baited lead head of the hard ground add a few hockies above bait them too sometimes it works
just look for hard ground on your fishfinder as spikes or bumps
or try a bit away from dan ends of crab and lobster pots
keep well off them tho
to make sure you dont snag ure prop and upset the trap owners lol
