Razor fish

[willywetegg]

One of the best sessions I had was on Lug mussel and razorfish that were all well past their use by date lol. my hands and cloth were lifting. When they ran out I started using all fresh stuff and never caught another thing. I never throw away mussel or razor always use them again and they quite often work better when they have a bit of a ming about them.

just getting back to my original post,anyone bought any from the chineese supermarkets lately,lmfao

I was over at the chinese supermarket beside the Telewest arena, but couldn\'t see any razorfish, plenty squid at £1.05 per box tho.

The week before they had 1kg boxes of frozen soft crabs about 4 inches wide, about 15 in the box for £10.50 - none left now, which I\'d give them a try

the ones at the Chinese Restaurants, are from Brazil and are actually a FRESH WATER razor- dont know if it would make any differance to use as a bait,but i would not use a big runny to try and catch a Chub, Carp Etc Etc, could be wrong, maybe no-ones tried it - i know salt water fish catch pike,but the other way round wouldnt know- Micky Quayle - any thoughts. :P

No? I\'ve limited freshwater angling experience, but I\'ve caught carp using mussell baits. My mate has had carp using left over peelers aswell. I think marine worms, especially live ones may be limited but the smell from shellfish etc probably has it\'s uses in freshwater. Never rule anything out unless you\'ve tried it. Well almost anything

Went to Shields fish quay today to try and buy some,no luck,it was either \"we dont sell it any more\" or \"never had any for years\".I was told to try Taylors who were very helpful but again the did\'nt have any.

Alan, I bought 150 off him the other week for £34. They didn\'t arrive on the Friday as planned, so I contacted him and he sent another batch out to me.
In the meantime the first 150 arrived (Monday afternoon when I was out) I contacted him and was told to bin them as they would be stinking! Yeah, they went straight into the freezer along with the freebie mackerel fillets he also sent!!
Not bad then, 300 razors (150 yellow stinky and 150 fresh) and 10 mackerel for £34, positive feedback on the way!!

Rob i bet the yellow stinky outfish the white fresh razor you ended up with a right bargain there.
