But is it really worth the effort of preparing mouse paste or fishing with "road or waterway kill" when other more simple baits will still catch. From some one who likes to preach about water craft and angling skill I find it odd that you would then get tied up in the idea of "extra special baits". With that attitude are you sure you were never a Carper :D

I am just curious and when I have heard about a bait I have tried it, I will always go for simple just determined never to be tied to one bait ot one method. But we are way way off topic and I think this discussion need a different thread and we should get back to Sportsman's original thread as we are not being fair to him.

BTW - the last time I checked it is illegal to use crayfish or any part of a crayfish as bait in the UK

 

Just thought I'd mention it as it's been suggested in this thread, Don't want ANers ending up in trouble if they ever meet a lesser spotted envioronment agency baliff!

I know hence the crab and shrimps etc at the moment there is only one person licensed to catch crayfish in the UK but I see no reason why others cannot apply for a license if they really feel they have a need.

News to me! The EA licensing department was being run off it's feet last time I heard and they've even been refusing licences as so many have been issued!

Eating wild caught fish is good for my health, reduces food miles and keeps me fit trying to catch them........it's my choice to do it, not yours to stop me!

Funny isn't it I telephone the telephone the Environment Agency concerning the issue of Eel Licenses and asked about crayfish licenses while I was on the telephone and get told one thing, yet someone else comes out with a different answer which they claim to be what they heard from the EA...why am I not surprised...

 

However one person has to have a dig at another...guess it just shows what some people are like...

Well stop digging then Toad!

 

It's stil illegal to use crayfish for bait whether you have a licence or not for trapping them. If you catch them whilst angling you can do what you want with them as long as they don't go back in the water.....no licence needed.

Any news on your mouse paste toad? I'd be interested to see (as are others) your recipe. And don't worry, I'm not in the slightest bit squeamish!
