thanks :D alot for sharing this info as the merits of this website to anglers communication has been proven again, as whilst in around inishowen and beyond, it's a fair travel to coleraine/ portrush for worms if the planning skills are'nt the best occassionally :wink:
on the subject of worms would anyone know if any local shops supply / or could indeed provide occasionally lugworm?? went out and dug a few recently but took forever as well deep down due to the cold, as was grateful that for the few that i did as got some attention whilst doing some new ground hunting, whilst plain mack provided a banquet for the crabs.
i was thinking of trying that lazy lug but as i'm not a member of any club haven't asked about yet. Lough swilly's no is 00 353 0 7491 68496 i believe.

Needs to be booked in advance.......forget now (and I was just chatting with John 2 hours ago, forget my head if it wasn't etc etc) if it's Tuesday or Wednesday he needs it booked by. Best give him a ring to make sure if you're ordering.

Incidently, how much is rag per lb in other parts of the country?
