Strange bait???

[*Ant*]

Great replies, thanks.

 

I usually get to the coast 3-4 times a year and sometimes it's hard to find a local tackle shop, hence my question. I remember one time fishing at night from an "out of the way" Welsh harbour with three Nash Monster Mussel boilies threaded on the hook.

And did the boilies work?

I did have a great bite that nearly pulled my rod off the tri-pod but missed it.

I tried crab sticks - once!

ps It's amazing the different fish that you take as bycatch when using bread for mullet. Bass in particular seem to like it.

 

pps I've heard of bass anglers using (dead) day old chicks for bass, beneath a pier where pigeons nest and where bass expect the odd chick to fall into the water. (Frozen day old chicks are sold by pet shops for feeding to snakes etc).

Duggy Goodal, you must be ticking on like me.

Yep i to have used pigs liver and it does catch fish..whiting love it.

The great thing about Liver is you can fashion long lengths of the stuff to resemble worms,and you're right Whiting loved the stuff.I still think of Sally under the pier on those hot Saturday nights ...........but that's another story.Astonishing really, if you told your Parents that you're off fishing all night they wouldn't bat an eyelid,you mention Girlies and they'd want you home by ten.As you can imagine i did a lot of fishing....a lot of fishing.

As a relatively young parent, I can also tell you that I use the same excuse the other way around!!

 

Might see if I can get a fishing pass this weekend, and try the liver!!

Paulipoos, interesting. It must have been the pigs liver the girls were after also, Ive seen your picture. Sounds like it worked better than Old Spice. Regards Nickaway

That's the first time i've heard called Pigs Liver.You didn't know Sally aswell did you?

[Grant]

well its the bass festival over here this weekend, so I reckon strange baits are the bets bet, not that I have ever caught a fish in the festival historically...........
