the sea as in all ports dwindles down into southampton, went out boat fishing last week pulled in **** loads of sea bream got a few in freezer
got a couple smooth hounds, 7.5 lbs and 12 lbs
we used ragworms and crab for bait


thinking of popping down to the park were the sea is (cobden bridge area) and throwing a rod in


any ideas on some cheap bait?

In the summer THE bait of choice is peeler crab - sadly not easy to find and not cheap!

Lugworm was always my choice, got plenty hooked on that

pmsl never thought of that, i wondered what i was doing wrong when i had to keep swimming in to retrieve my rod with every bite

If you can net some live prawns in the weeds by breakwaters or mooring pontoons, they are one of the best general baits going. I catch all my sea bass on those.

Fresh Mussels, cracked open, and use sheepswool to bind the snot onto the hook.
