| Re: Hopeman/local area Oh and this time of year means either peeler crab or mackerel as main bait. Although in saying that ragworm will also work __________________ Looking for sea fishing marks in Scotland? Click below 90 to choose from |

| Re: Hopeman/local area having spent 15 years fishing from hopeman i can say that the best bait to use is lugworm, truthfully though there seems to be nothing left of the pier :s i was down today for 4 hours and only caught two little coalies |
