Report:
Myrtle Ville, Garrets town
20th and the 21st
Flow ebb
garrets town myself and about 20 surfers
Salted lug fresh crab mackerel
Fished the left-hand side of the small beach , I may have got a few bites; but there was a good surf and could not really tell; on a number of occasions’ the rod tip jumped back having read some post here; they could have been bites, I just tightened up the slack maybe I should have struck ?
Myrtle Ville fished here on the Sunday, coming tide; myself’ tree polish lads, on the rocks, a Grey seal and tree women well past there prime swimming in front of the rod tip.
Lost a rig earlier on due to weed ;fishing two rods, put one rod to the side; and fished with only one for most of the tide until the weed cleared.
After tree hours caught a flounder on mackerel strip, good size’ returned it to an applause from a group of children standing watch .
Used the salted lug for the first time; the verdict is still out using this type of bait; once they are in the water they do seem to swell up and don’t look to bad ; I used a very coerce salt; road salt, might try some finer salt next time’ maybe they might cure better .
I might try garrets town next weekend in the evening.
One question is an ebbing tide worth fishing in the dark ?

if you mean frozen black lug, i usually dont bother salting them. i usually gut them, leave in fridge no freezer for about 3 days until they go sticky, then roll in paper with no salt and pop in freezer.

prefer to use them as a tipping bait than as a whole bait. have had good results on them especially for plaice, flounder, dabs, codling, coalies and whiting
