Haddock

[arthurcodsbody]

Fishing from stonehaven on friday with (hopefully) the chance of getting stuck into some haddock whats the top baits? Same as cod baits I assume but having never fished for them before I wouldnt know for sure.

Cheers

Mussel & lug/rag, they will take fish strip as well - caught a few across in Loch Fyne last year.

Same as KennyC. Caught stacks in Loch Fyne a couple of years ago, couldnt tell you much about the east coast mate but mussel/rag baited muppets and hokkais worked for me.

We use thin mackerel belly strips most days, but occasionally they seem to prefer ragworm. Baited feathers/hokkais seem to work best

we used to get Haddock out of Stonehaven on Mussel baited feathers or hokkai.

Luck on Friday

:cool: My best ever bag of haddock was off Arran

and they fell to scallops, two of the fish broke the Scottish record. Squid, mackeral and worm produced mainly cod and pout but the scallops produced the haddock.

We get a load of them, and I mean a load of them - sick of catching them when we have a limit of 15 in matches.

 

Beads and silver blade spoon rigs baited with mussel and tipped with mackerel fished tight on the bottom seem to do the trick up here.

 

Some days they can be picky and lugworm and mussel is on their menu above other baits.

 

I would make sure you have a good supply of mussel.

 

We had quite a few haddock on saturday on a fun trip, mussel and/or mackerel baits fished tight to the bottom was doing the trick. If fishing mackerel baits make sure the slices not to thick and hook tip well exposed.

We catch plenty here of whitby in certain areas, small hokias with mackerel strip or even squid sometimes does the job and they seem to like lugworm.
