Hi Rab525

Do you catch anything on the masonry worms, tried several times when I dug them up accidentally looking for rag but never been successful?

[Drew]

Are they not too Skittery to use as bait? :?

[rab 525]

yeah kieran i;ve had grey gurnards and flats on them from red bay area i usually throw in a few big ones as back up when bait is scarce,we usually dig in the tube beds for white rag as they seem to be of a bigger size when dug here, we get them to the diameter of AAA battery.

no probs adam ,would have give you a shout but it was a last minute decision to fish the bay mate as the wind dictated the mark for us and it was fairly windy
