crab will be the top bait now m8 as for species codling will be the main focus but colies and the odd pollock n wrasse will tend 2 show along with rockling

The species aforementioned are there now. I use rag and peeler but none outweighs the other at present! As the summer matures I will be targeting red codling and might use a lighter rod for wrasse and pollack! In relation to rigs, rotten bottoms are essential! Good luck! I have had recent success in crisps gulley but there are other marks to the north also!

ive used mussle before but the last i went fishing i had set up a 2 hooked rig 1 with mussles and 1 with no bait everytime i caught a fish the fish kept on going for the hook with out bait :exclam: :exclam:

was it a coaley? and did you have mussle on when you brought back in? it usally comes off unless you secure with elastic

it was a coaley and everytime baited up me 1 of the hooks on my 2 hook rig with mussles i tied them securely with elastic :yltype: :yltype:

 

[daddytim]

yeah rob that time we went fishing i used elastic cotton to secure the muscle and mackerel on the other hook its best to take elastic cotton always its a key product to fishing

 

[daddytim]

you told me you never caught anything

 

[daddytim]

you told me that your grandad caught flatties but not coalies and i also told you the same story because when i went to curchpoint i caught coalies where it was just the hook and a few rocklin on rag you dont have to tell lies you know rob it dont make you a bad at fishing if you blank on lots of sessions it comes and goes happens to every angler and you told me you dont have or use elastic cotton
