No i\'m not pi$$ed be fore you ask(Powerstorm) Iwas fishing Blyth Harbour on Mon night & caught 3 cod, kept 2 and returned 1... On gutting the said 2 (I always clean the fish and return the leftovers, a sort of recycle thing, hopefully the guts are eaten by smaller fishthat grow or are eaten by crabs that peel ect ) the stomach of the two fish were bursting with shrimps & small flatties, now i thought use the contents for bait, so I did,, didn\'t catch anything on them, any reasons why? could the fish possably detect that the bait had been in another fishes stomach and reject it as dodgey? I dont know, It was what the two cod had been feeding on, but as soon as I went back to lug I caught another one any Ideas or should have I been pi$$ed before posting this one,at least I would have had an excuse Cheers Tich :hallucine:

I caught a codling and some worm dropped out of its mouth, straight on the hook resulting in a 5 1/2 pound codling. Have tried small sand eels that have just been eaten and nothing.
Same old story Tich right time right place and anything will work.

I think with crabs and fish, its all down to movement, the cod can \'detect\' the movement of the live flatties/crabs in the murk, but if you fish them dead, no movement. As for worms, they can \'smell\' them more than anything else.
My theory anyway

seen a coalie caught on pork sausage 
my pal and i have this debate everytime we fish ,he uses nowt but squid saying if the fish are hungry theyl eat
this dont seem to be the case ,youve got to get the fish intereted first either by movement or smell or something thats really visual ,ive caught whiting using whiting but most the cod (all 3 of them ) have fell to rag or lug combined with maccy or squid,and believe me ive tried allsorts from prawns,smoked salmon to made up concoctions stuffed into squid,i think you might get away with it after a good blow but not while the fish are hunting as apposed to scavenging

I wish sometimes we could just sometimes stick to the thread>> I love a joke but all I was after was an answer ,Im not into kebab fishing. with or without garlic/ im not known as a dull/ twat/boring /Ba$tard,,, but at times I wish we could keep it \"\" in or on line\"\" If thats not to much,thers to much chat not asociated with the thread going on between the lines, a wee quick one here & there is ok, but when some of it becomes \"\"hijacked\"\" it\'s a little boaring ... sorry rant over ... cheers Tich :casstet: :casstet: :casstet: :casstet: :casstet: :casstet:
