Does anyone know the best place to dig for black lug and collect mussel?

[Kennyfish]

I'm looking to start to get my own bait but don't really know were to start lol.
I'm looking at Black lug and mussel but don't know were the best and safest places to collect them are? The reason for collecting these baits it that I can freeze them basically. If anyone knows the best place to collect peelers that will be welcome advice too.

Thanks

loads of mussle on cambois side of the river, its hard work shelling them though, i got some whilst i was digging and after doing 1 packet i ended up chucking the rest. black lug are gutted yellowtails which you wont get unless you travel, well not enough to make it worth trying to dig them anyway.

That's spot on mate, I'll leave the lug then lol. Aye the mussel will be good though, Ive found my best success on mussel like.

runny down is gutted blacks , not blacks is gutted yellowtails, blacks are a type of lug worm .

Have a run up to eyemouth for the crab and mussel mate but you won't get any peelers till the summer starts to kick in , as for the lugworm have a run over to morcambe , well the name is hayshum beach there is some big worms over there
