ruby dubby bags on the beach

was told to make up some rubby dubby, wade out on a local sandy shallow beach at outgoing tide, stake a bag of ruby duby in to the sand ,attach a large visible float to in, let the outgoing water carry the sent out then come back at high water and cast out to the float, was told this works a treat for ray, huss, hound etc.. and in surf conditions bass wil linger around it too?? has anyone tried this and if so have you had much success with it?

That would be at least 7 hours for that plan to work the rubby dubby bag would be well spent on the bottom in no time. It would probably be better to fish the early flood to reap the gains of the rubby dubby.

If you can stick a stake in the sand and keep the bag above water to be washed only by the surf that will keep the bag working much longer.

there was an article in TSF a few months ago on this, and it does look interesting, they used an onion bag full of chopped macks and squid to attract ray ( I think i've heard of people using dog food too add to this too) .

As Nialler says, it makes more sense to stake it at low / rising tide than on the way out, personally i'd aim to stake the bag at whatever distane i expected to be able to cast to at high-ish water... ie stand where you normally end up at full tide cast onto the sand and stake a bag of whatever at about that distance. Guess a float would make it a bit easier to aim!


As I usually fish west clare I have my doubts how well it would work out there as large boulders can be easily shifted I could well see the bait bag at my feet 10 minutes later, and there is always the chance that i'll end up swamped in doggies.


I think if you have a mark where you know huss move in it can only help, but it needs to be a sheltered spot i'd imagine.


Keep meaning to try this out myself though!! :lol:


edit: actually its in June edition of Sea Angler, and for targetting ray, and even they say its not great.. just might help.

I think the basic principle would work but as Mohawk said above you really would only have the benefit of the rubby for a MAX of 2/3 hrs

I think there are two different options that you could try provided the beach isn't used by Swimmers/Surfers.

Set up a pulley on to an anchor at the place you want to fish and run a rope to the shore at the HW mark, Then you can tie the rubby to the rope and pull it out.

if you do put the rubby on a stake stuck in the sand at LW Freeze the rubby before hand and then at least you will get another hour or more before the rubby starts to work.

you could bury it and let the scent ouze out of the sand as the tide washes over it

Hi guys.

There is a ready prepared rubby dubby bag on the market called Seabag. You can see the information on it at: http://www.lazybaits.co.uk.

It is extremely pungent and we have had favourable reports on its use. It was primarily designed for boat use to go down with the anchor, but there are details of how to peg out from the shore. Some people hang it from piers, rocks etc and others use it from the shore. We have customers who split the bags down and use the contents in cage feeders, or make little sausages using finger bandages (don't pack it too tightly, or make small slits in sausage to let a trail out).

I hope that this helps fellas! Stay safe and enjoy your angling.
