Pork liver....:-) Brilliant. Reminds me of using little bits of stewing beef off buncrana pier to catch dabs many moons ago. Nice range of species there, as a matter of interest how many fish hit the liver baits.

Pork liver, eh? I've had a 35 lb tope on that, boat fishing out of Lymington in England.

Had it as an emergancy bait cos it's nice and bloody. Mackeral weren't producing, so by the time I used it it had been marinading in it's own juices for long hot hours.

Boy did it stink..... :D

sounds like a great session grady :P . it's amazing what baits the fish will take :shock: . i was fishing beside a guy in waterfoot (co antrim) last year who swore by liver, and sure enough he was getting loads of wee whiting and coalies on it :shock: . it's amazing what works as bait sometimes :P

pork liver :idea: add some onions to it and you will catch me every cast :lol: :lol: :lol:
but seriously when i did the shooting i used to keep all the offal from rabbits and birds, and tried it for bait, and it worked just fine 8)
