I've had excellent mullet fishing on Loch Ryan, over Stranrear way, using bacon rind as bait and fine diced rind as a form of 'chum' to bring them in.

I've never experimented with it for bigger fish but my own thoughts are that the bait is less important than placing it in proximity to a feeding fish.

I've fed some pretty big pollack on the Isle of Sky in crystal clear water with bread, sweetcorn, corned beef, bits of sausage meat and all sorts of other junk they would not encounter in their natural habitat.

I was at Blyth last night myself and the jetty was pretty much deserted and nobody on the pier did much of anything other than small stuff, so where-ever this special spot is it must be pretty well hidden...

i fish the harbour at least twice a week sometimes more if i get the time , the last 2 weeks its been really poor only small stuff getting caught , tings flats and small codling , ive fished all the way up and down the harbour and any where is as good as any where else , i use a two hook flapper most of the time or a long hook lengh and short lead lengh , rag seems to be catching the fish that are there at the moment , if your fishing it m8 just find a spot you like and try your luck if its no good just try farther up or down , i was there sunday and nothing much was caught a couple of small tings and a rockling , all ways worth hoying a big bait out now and again though as you never know

When I got there last night there were two fellas coming off the pier as I was going on. They'd caught four small Whiting.

There was an elderly chap and his spaniel fishing the bend to the seaward side, who had caught a small flattie - he left an hour or so later with little or nothing of note caught.

I parked myself half way between the bend and the pier end, one chap was fishing the end of the pier and another two came shortly after I arrived and also went to the end.

The chap at the end came back down past the bend a couple of hours after I arrived, complaining that he'd not had a bite in an hour and a half, and when I left at around 2am he was pulling in a codling just a few inches long.

There wasn't a soul that I could see on the jetty, and I drove all the way down it on my way home to see if anyone else was daft enough to be out

There were no lights from anyone fishing the shore at either side of the base of the pier either.

No idea whether the two lads who arrived not along after me caught anything - by the time I left I wasn't curious enough to walk down and ask

fresh bacon only? what about stuff thats been out of the freezer for a weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee eek

[ianio.1]

iv tried just about everything and it only seem to be fresh bacon....never had any real results on frozen bait....a few fish around the 2lb mark etc but not in any real numbers or anything.

[a3rox]

i heard from top anglers that its got to be a hairy pork scatching cause the fish like the feeling of it????

[Rocker]

Is this for real?
So next time I'm out I'm going to try a rockling/bacon pennel

[Persues]

Wonder if scampi fries or beef jerky might work...

[Fishygone]

Think i will order some Bacon Flavored Peelers for next Winter.
