Lugworm CastsLugworm is a much favoured bait for sea fishing which with a bit of planning can be collected easily and its well worth the effort. There are two main types for fishing, blow lugworm and black lugworm. Lug will catch almost all UK sea species

The Lugworm lives in the inter tidal area of beaches and more commonly estuaries. They live in a U shaped burrow, one end is open (the head end) and the other has a CAST which is a coil of sand created by the creature burrowing and digesting the substrate, drawing out the goodness it may contain.

Have you heard about LazyLug and LazyRag, I have never tried either product yet. I am a great believer in fresh worm and I prefer bait collected from the beach or at least close by to where I am fishing.

Lazy Lug and Rag is a preserved worm served in a container. I have not even seen a packet, but for an off the shelf product / something to keep in the boot of your car for an emergency fishing session surely its worth a try!!

I would love to hear from you if you have tried lazylug or the newer lazyrag. Let us know what you thought of the product, it can’t be as good as fresh worm, but surely you can catch fish on it.

Did you catch more fish?

Don’t know what a Bluey is, well nor do I really.

They are being hailed as a new super bait to hit sea fishing. I understand they are an oily fish like a mackerel, but these fish have a greater oil content and therefore create a greater scent trail and attract more fish, allowing you to catch more fish.

I agree that good quality fresh sea bait is very important for most fish (some fish do like a smelly bait) but I am not convinced that a foreign species, even though its packed with oil is the answer.

Can you tell me what blueys are. I have seen them mentioned for Pike fishing and sea fishing and I would like to know what they really are.

I have spent many hours looking for the answer for this on the web, as it is a question I have been pondering for a while. I have now searched hundreds of web pages and found lots of results from around the world.

The term bluey seems to be used to describe a lot of different fish from around the world, and a few crabs as well. Ruling out a crab pre-packed as a fish (you never know these days) and working on the average size of the bluey in its vacuum pack, I would suggest its not the black spot tusk fish!!

Please join in and tick the box next to your top sea fishing bait bait.

It has been a month now since I posted the question “What’s your favourite sea fishing bait?” and I am delighted with participation levels. Firstly, thank you every one who voted, votes help make the information more viable and give a better result set. Secondly we have a clear winner as follows.

Now I am not surprised about the first 4 results. It would be interesting to research which people consider to be the most available baits and see if they co-inside with the results to date! However, I am surprised when you look in most of the glossy magazines about the effects of Bluey’s that they only got 1 vote! Read the rest of this entry »
