Now lads, was wanting your opinions on using bluey as cod bait? Never tried it myself, tend to use the more traditional baits, crab, mussel, lug etc. Was thinking of giving it a try over rough ground, single or as a cocktail.. Any shared experiences would be useful.. Cheers.

Seems to be the current fad doesnt it? and not just for cod...
Shops seem to be very willing to sell if and recommend it, but would be interesting to see if anyone has caught on it.
Used it for pollock in SW Scotland this year - nothing, lures fished much better.Best shore catch 2016 - 7.5lb cod, Seaton Carew!

Bluey or mackerel tied in will often sort out the bigger fish - quite a few lads I know who like their winter pig-hunts up the likes of Newton / Craster / Beadnell wouldn't be without it & it's certainly accounted for some big fish. It'll also work locally, sometimes when there's no interest in lug or crab baits…tie in a bit & it'll help you get one or two out.

Very underestimated bait for cod IMO I've had any fair share of nice fish on bluey and mussel baits especially around beadnell seahouses area.
It's just about the only bait you need to fish in norwayPB SHORE COD 9LB 14oz seaton sluice 3/11/12
PB BOAT COD 9lb 15oz
PB COALIE 9lb 8oz
PB LING 7lb 8ozComment

Bluey is a top bait for Cod I like to use it from December when the bigger Cod move in to spawn I was converted to it after my first shore fishing trip to Norway its always best to use semi frozen goes like mush when left to defrost.Comment

Had a nice 5lber out of crisps gulley in September on straight bluey. The further north you go the better it seems to fish. Works really well Arbroath area.Comment

Very goid bait, but like all baits depends on what they are feeding on at that timeComment
