Razors in the west.

Hi all,
Wondering if anyone has collected any razorfish on the west coast? Based in Galway was gonna go look on the next neap tides armed with a salt solution, must be some to be found on some of the sandy shores.

Cheers
Dave

so...an electric salt grinder would be no good so??

I had 2 goes at them last weekend, first with the salt, they were very slow to come out, like 20 mins later as the tide just turned, 2nd day I used a strong salt solution in a garden sprayer, same again very slow, I got about 20 using the grab and pull way, hands are a bit sore just now though! it's not a bad way though once you home in on the slight depression, ended up with just over 70 for the 2 trips, minus 2 that went in the frying pan, didn't rate them at all! give me squid anyday.

Think you mean Spring tides Dave.

The salt/ salt soultion works best on days when the sand has a chance to dry out. It does take some time to take effect. I generally salt an area of 40-50 square meters then I go closer to the tide line an dig them. Check you salting every 10 -15 minutes and make sure the gulls aren't stealing your razors. Best of both worlds then.
