| Small Wrass as bait? Went into the fishing shop the other day and the bloke said you if you put marmite on wrass, the bass go crazy for it? Anyone got a say on this? __________________ Species 2009: Bass,Pollock,Pout,Smout,Wrass,Cockoo Wrass,Black Bream,Goby, Thornback Ray, Scorpian Devil Fish, Whiting     |

| Re: Small Wrass as bait? I think it may be a reference to the current marmite advertising campaign "You either love it or hate it". On one day the fish will go nuts for a particular bait, climb up your line & nibble the tip ring, on another day the same bait will not get a touch" There are cheaper baits than marmite, it's nearly a fiver for a large jar & my son goes through it in no time.  __________________ Spahill <:--- --- --- --- It was this big --- --- --- ---:> |

| Re: Small Wrass as bait? Bass are more omnivorous than we think .... they'll eat anything depending on available foodtuffs .... they're boogers for bread or sausage or road-kill giblets (if you have the stomach for that!). Fresh mackies and pout are probably favourites, but chunked squid is also a telling method. If bass are hungry they'll eat any smallish fish including wrasse ... try the butterfish which you find in rock-pools and under stones around my area (Langstone).  |

| Re: Small Wrass as bait? I think you were bein led on. Bass ae a predatory fish. The only way they can tell if they like it is to bite it. tj |

| Re: Small Wrass as bait? I remember a few years ago when there was an article in the Sea Angler claiming that using WD40 improved your catch rate. I gave it a try and strangely enough my catch rate didnt improve. Since that time I have never bought the Sea Angler. __________________ Check my blog for a daily fishing forecast from Weymouth, Portland, Chesil Beach & Kimmeridge Bay. www.fishingtails.co.uk |
