Re: Mussel as bait
Hi
TBH, the opinions vary on this very differently. Personally i would not go out on the boat without it...Find it can be extremely productive for cod in particular.. I would either just lash it on a bit of mackerel or squid with bait elastic...
The squid body thou is a great storage for the likes of mussel once its cleaned out
Certainly mussel from the boat is way more better than from the beach but that may be a different case in other areas
