Sandeel on South Shields pier

[Stampsy525]

hi all, i am new to this site and this is my girst post, any way i was just wondering if anybody has used sandeel iff shields pier and caught any thing with it, i have got a few packets still form scotland off couple weeks back which were still frozen and didnt know if to try them, ALso has anybody used the new bait called "BLUEYS". READ A ARTICLE in sea angler and they seem trather good. thanks for any info,

if you use rag or lug
and just tip the bait off with sandeel you will get some whitings

ive not used the bluey stuff yet

Welcome to NESA mate. I know a couple of the lads on here have used blueys so i'm sure they will let you know if they are any good.

welcome

i use nothing but blueys mate, fantastic bait never fail to catch something with them...
mind you im in Iceland and the fishing is so good i could put a sock on a hook and catch hahah....
but seriously it is great bait,very oily and stays on the hook very well
but dont get it on you as you will never get the smell out of your clothes.

i read an article a few months back about these bluey`s - then realised they were testing it in Iceland ,so yes they were not telling any lies (them rascals that run Total Sea Fishing ) - but surely it is like testing a new Fishing lure in a Garden pond full of fish, to get a report to the local/national press

i realise that there is an abundance of fish in the waters here...but it has to be worth giving them a try, why muck about with lug, crab and all the other baits when one will do just fine. if they are available locally my advice is to try them, what have you got to lose.

[SIXFOOTSTEVE]

Yeah Russ I'm sure I'll give it a go in the winter mate.

Me and my daughter Emma used blueys up in SW Scotland the other week and it outfished the mackerel baits by 3-1 (see our catch report on here). I'm itching to give it a go off the rocks this winter and busy stocking up on it now, as it's selling as fast as Terry gets it in.
