Bringing fish to an area

Sun May 01, 2011 10:29 pm

Hi people,
I know an area where a small pier is and the water is amazingly transparent! All you can see is thousands(i mean THOUSANDS) of sandeels tonnes of crabs baby pollack with the odd big one and millions of rag and lug NO EXAGGERATION :!:
Another pier is about 350m away where dogfish, conger, wrasse, bass, skate, rays, flatties, pollack, mackerel, coalfish and mullet have been caught continously
I like fishing the pier but the water is murkyer and people are always there
I was thinking of making a rubby dubby thing out of sandeel, mackerel, sardine, herring, lug rag, bread sweetcorn, lamprey, peeler, softie and hardback crabs. mushed up and putting it in a large net bag and chucking it on off the wall side, hoping fish will come in and stay feeding on the natural inhabitants.
Is this worth it and coming back 2 days later with 4 rods, using shrimp feathers, oily fish, worms and crab? any feedback would be grateful :lol: :D

A waste of good bait if you ask me as brian has said above why when the food is there already :?

I would try fishing under the cover of darkness due to the clarity of the water.If there is that much food there the fish should move in to feed.TIGHT LINES............... 8)

You never said if you have tried fishing here?
If it's that good there should be some fish further out.

It may be a spot to try on a good spring tide :?: Im presuming there isn't much depth of water there.I agree that there is no need to try lure some fish in by putting bait scent in the water.....seems to be enough there already i reckon.

If you fish the area in front of the pier with a couple of rods, at different distances and states of tide, you might find a gulley or bank or feature in the area and then......happy days I reckon!!!

Good luck :wink:

well mayo man that is very interesting point you have brought to light just because there is a amazing load of bait at one pier it does not mean the same bait will be 350m up the road what i would do is catch me bait at pier one and go to pier 2 and fish and if pier 2 was full chance pier 1 best thing ya can do is fish a spot a couple of times at different stages of the tide, times of day, with different bait

The difference in water clarity and depth is probably the reason the pier with the murky water fished much better.
But as suggested by Clinton and dec69696969 fish it in darkness and on a big rising tide up to high tide and I reckon you should do well.
