different marks , different time of year= different baits each place/time.

My PB shore cod at 7lb came on a single dead ragworm that had been out for a good 30 mins.
Just using up my bait and got talking to a fellow fisherman for ages, the bite broke the conversation and boom - my PB.
If they are there.....Best shore catch 2016 - 7.5lb cod, Seaton Carew!

certain baits and size of baits will pick out the better stamp of fish.Species 2012 - Cod, Flounder, Dab, Plaice, Pollock, Eelpout, Common eel, Granny Fish, Whiting, Coalie, LSD, Rockling, Bass.Comment

Without doubt the 2 main factors are bait and conditions there places around my area that will fish after a blow up but in flat calm you might aswell fish in ya bath. If you have better bait fresh worm good peelers ect that always makes a difference. Variety with bait really does help around us. Fresh mussell is a very underrated bait. Fishes like a good un. I change my bait after every cast but have seen lads add to there bait chuck back out and catchComment

got a 9and1/2lbs fish doing exactly that, after every cast I just added another rag onto my pennel rig ended up with a massive snot ball of about 10 rags, the fish took the lot into its gob and It hooked it's self on the top hookOriginally posted by EFC FOREVER View PostComment

Cheers for the response lads. No mention of squid I notice, noted.
I appreciate like some have pointed out that there is a degree of luck involved but as others have said bait, conditions and tides are the 3 biggest factors in fishing. Bait being the only one we can control of course
Obviously location as well but me personally, I would rather be in the wrong place with the best bait than the best spot with some washed out rag I dug out the bottom of the freezer.
I have never used bluey before but just ordered some and will give it a shot.

Cheers reg
I used to get a bit of bait from Game Fair a while back but you are right about price. Questionable quality of some of there stuff alsoComment

had a 14lb on squid-steetly
a 15lb cock clam-noses
one this season just under 10lb mackeral/cart mix
had 15 fish over 5lb this season already , all sorts of baits,
they tack out man,
fish baits good, but if your in a crowded comp its likely someone will have better bait and the fish gan for there's.
cart/ fresh crab, usually outfishes fish baits. (however some northern marks an exception)
but if your pleasure fishing, and not many other baits in the water, makeral sausage good as out for fish over 4lb. believe you me
am a big believer that the cod below 3lb tend to dislike makeral, better off with lug. am one for waiting for better stamp- wouldn't fish for anything else............ ......... just my opinion ................just my opinion.....
its more about finding a few marks, fishing them regular, and find out when is the best tide and conditions. and only go to them marks on the correct tide/ condition. , just look at the top anglers- a lot of them go to the same marks over and over again, I could name a few from my endLast edited by Deans; 12-01-2014, 10:33 PM..Comment

Most of the time larger fish are loan feeders as they eat just about anything in front of them including smaller cod open up a large you will find rocklings blenys small flatys and whiteies large hard backs I've caught doubles on live Rockies large cod turn up the same places most years ie 3 shelves camels left side of rock the 3rd 4 the bay ectComment

A mate of mine had one over 12lb on rag and mackerel strip on a 1/0 hook meant for whiting. I agree with the above, it's the same places that regularly throw up the better fish. In my neck of the woods that's sharpies, slateys,bathing pool, st marys, Hartley etc.Regards Nicky.

Squid has worked for me mixed with backs. Had good few fish between 5 and 7 using that. Bluey has also produced decent fish. No doubles yet though. Think it depends what ground your fishing into aswel. I've used them baits over clean ground and had very little.Originally posted by berwick View PostCheers for the response lads.

I must admit I don't know where the best marks are for the big fish up my way. Far fewer people fishing up this neck of the woods (in winter anyway) in my experience so less people to ask/ local knowledge etc. Just need to put the hours in I guess
I agree with you deans as to smaller codling not so keen on fish baits. Not thinking of ditching the rag, mussel, squid etc but introducing more fish and crab into my bait bucket from these posts.
Again with the luck stories around catching monsters on single worms etc. I am looking for a slightly more consistent and targeted approach. There are many more consistent anglers on here, for example posing in their garage on a regular basis with fish other anglers on here would kill to catch....not mentioning any names
