Been doing wings myself and tried them last night with fresh crab and had a decent whiting. Tried frozen blacks and cart too and had bites also. I prefer the wings myself as there a lot better to tie on etc but I have also made some sausages with the pre coral I got out the crab before I took the wings out but I'm keeping them for when the sea comes away and a little later in the year.

sean the best way with cart i think is to salt the wings

 

[sean start]

Definitely Bucky. That's the way I've done them.

I've only fished with cart a few times so I'll ask the stupid question. What do you mean by cart wings?

 

[Bigfoot]

Cart wings are the soft skin, and meat taken from the crab.
They can be salted and frozen.

Cart

To be honest lads don't you think it a little over rated yes it does have its day when sea is mazzive but I have had all my good cod on river crab and mussle and crab cock tails and other stuff and I salt mine too I have noticed that too much salt makes them too tuff and after casting them out they come back in the same way so I fine only a little salt is better so I can brake down in the water to give off more wiff for the fish to eat , and leaves a better trail but like I say people have there own ways which you have to respect

Prefer using wings but sausages in mesh are ok. I agree with the above, bit overrated but good on its day. Had some cracking takes using it tho

What's cart

 

[Philthebag]

Big lump of cart in the rough ground will out fish any bait, i prefer the hole lot mixed then cut to bait size

 

[CHUKKA]

Every bait has its day - I'd rather have a bucket full of big live cock peelers or snake whites. The cart I've used is great for getting the initial bite but washes out far too quickly. It's a cocktail bait in my eyes.

I find the opposite cart on its own in heavy ground, white worm for tipping

Personally find cart works best in coloured water over rough ground. I always use it in a cocktail, usually with blacks. Fresh peelers will outfish it most times up till end of November but does seem to winkle out a few better fish.

Don't want to sound stupid here but...

I have never used Cart before - wings, fingers, sausages or other, how exactly do you fasten it to your hook?

Bait Elastic

Bait Elastic

so does it have to still be frozen when you stick it on? or does it hold together if you wrap elastic round it - tempted to grab some and give it a try.

Yes mate still frozen when you tie it on your hook. Keep it frozen in flask until ready to use. Has to be wrapped in something tho, I use tights but other people use finger bandages or cling film (needs stabbed with grip wire or knife point).
