tried the frozen tiger prawns that the chinese shops sell last year, no success al all. have been told by those that know that they can be very good for ray and cod. but i suppose it really is a case of right time right place

They work for cod in youghal when there isnt much of the usual bait around, but coalies take them more than cod.

Martin,

Fished the Mersey (Otterspool) a couple of years back prior to a comp. Myself and a couple of team mates. We were using lug / rag / crab and bites were hard to come by but we were catching a few whiting.
However, an old fella arrived along with his shopping trolley, rod and a bag of Tesco's finest frozen prawns :shock: - yep you guessed it he landed nearly a fish a cast and some good size ones amongst them.
Needless to say we added some frozen prawns to our bait list. Didn't disappoint - didn't win the comp either though :cry:

Give them a blast - you just never know.
