Ragworm

#1 Post by Deleted User 3488 »

Just a quick question lads.
Is it still possible to use ragworm this time of year?
I notice from some reports that some anglers are using shop bought Rag, but I was told it's not the done thing this time of year.

its not but as you no some people dont give 2 fcuks when there is a profit to be made digging rag from the end of october to the middle/end of march is a no,no but its not a law and some people do it anyway during them times rag will be breeding and spawing so should be left alone so there will be a good supply when it comes to the warmer months

That's what I thought.
Have seen some people still digging locally.
Either no brains or conscience, or a combo of both.
