Lesser known fact, best bait for ling is a half blown up jonnie..... :)

I'll get my coat now :lol:

swim bladder is very prone to poppin out on ling when taken from depth...

is that not their stomach ?i always thought the swim bladder expanding forced the stomach out .

now this is going off topic

ill wisper it

but are they fecked once this happens to them - just out of interest and not wanting to start off a conservation rant :roll:

you can tell i havent done boat fishing much - hear about the pollack coming up off wrecks doing this alright - changing pressures etc.

Unfortunately so. I guess an even slower retrieve, and then a rest along the way may help. I have reduced the number of blown wrasse from the boat doing this.
