Maddies at Kilmuckridge

After all the hype did anybody catch anything on them on Saturday? Apart from blasting them all over the horizon they didn't get me any fish, although a more settled day probably would have suited them.

A 20 cm flounder. Oh thanks to paulm who pm'd me to say he had some left over from the previous week.

Didnt get a tap on em Pete. Picked up turbot in close with a little bit of lug above a nice mack strip, had a flounder then well out on a similar bait.

Lug tipped with mac got me the counting flounder and my undersize fish. Interesting John, did you get the fish just on maddies or did you cocktail them with something else?

Lads, what you see in the pic above are whites, not maddies.

Well JD. I was always told that there were one and the same. Could you shed some light on this and give more info.

Sorry coaster but they are whites also know as wrigglers. The redish one on the lefthand side may be a small rag or a very big maddie.
Maddies are a small type of rag worm found in easturies well up the tide mark. Ofter found while digging for lug in muddy areas.
But back to the point of maddies at Kilmuckridge I had an undersize turbot on mackeral strip. Had it on all 3 hooks no maddies used. Had 3 cod, 1 on lug only and 2 on crab only all taken at distance. At the carpark I was told by someone who shall remain nameless not to bother bringing the crab as it catches nothing here.

the picture is of herringbone/whites. Maddie's are basically miniature rag normally around 2- 3 inches long.

Maddies are harbour or red rag.

Opposit the roundabout just outside the town on the Cork road looks ideal ground for them. Worth a try.

No bother Coaster - least we both learned something new :lol:
