could you use lug or have you ever tried it there or on that side of the coast?

Hi endinburgheire we haven`t had much luck with lug during winter at bangor and tend to use fish baits.lug works better at D.dee or anywhere up the antrim coast.i would only use worm during summer down this neck of the woods,mostly rag.hope this answers your question. :)
