Baited Feathers
Posted: Wed Apr 12, 2017 7:19 pm
Hi
Was fishing up past the lifeboat station near Clifden last year and we were struggling to catch. I read somewhere (on here?) about using baited feathers for ray. Thought this sounded daft but might as well give it a go (can't catch less than nothing). Over the next couple of hours I got 5-6 TBs on Hokis's and nasty mackerel. For sure it seemed better than (nasty) mackerel on its own. My mate (mackerel only) blanked. Not sure if this was just a one off or not. Anybody had a similar experience? Is it worth a go or are you better off with "normal" rigs? Wondered if the look + smell makes it like sandeel or something...
