Hi everyone, Could anyone point me in the direction of locations where I could dig for rag. When diggin around here i find small rag, are these habour rag? Do they leave casts? If not, how do you find them?!

Have a look for areas of mud and shale rag don't have a cast just a small hole which oozes water when the area around it it pressed.
Nearest places to Sussex could be the Estuary at Shoreham or the harbours around the Solent.

If you are digging along the coast then you're getting small white rag, Wurge. Good tipping bait. Harbour rag (maddies or reds) are found up the rivers - mostly the Adur or Ouse. For king rag you need to head west to Chichester harbour or further and they are hell to dig unless you have hippo genes and like mud.

Best places up the Ouse and where bait digging is banned... From what I've heard that is lol :whistling
Hey mullethead, tried to pm you but couldnt... I have a friend cough who wants to go and dig rag from the ouse. Will he find them along the banks anywhere, or are there specific spots? He has been told to look around southease...are they still about in this weather or do they go deeper etc? Thank youu!!
