Re: Bit of late bait fishing, November 2011, North Down
cracking result drew and co.
great bait for conger, huss and pike. and even better than that,,,, it was all free
that will save you a good few quid in bait man. just redistribute the finances into the form of diesel and get a few more sessions squeezed in with the savings

Re: Bit of late bait fishing, November 2011, North Down
In Northern Europe, they say herring is one of the best bait for nearly all type of fish
But like always, fresh is the best.
If i had them all, i would cook them in our way, fresh and in marinade (salt, pepper and vinegar, 2 weeks in a closed can and the best sandwich u can make from the fish) lovely fish !
Well done ! ! !
