i know it is not easy for evreyone to get their own bait,and i often have to get it from a shop..but in my opinion when ever i get my own bait i get better results when fishing..i always dig my own lug throughout the winter months,at thorpe bay and find they are there in abundance and are huge.the sort of worms you can never get from a shop.plus when you buy bait from a shop they are always going to give you their oldest stock.

 

Ye interesting the price of bait these days never been digging for it tho, i will certianly considor the thought.

All i know is i pay (iirc)
Lug £4 score
Dungie Black £3 for 10
Sand eels £3 per pack
Rag (can not remember price yet, but expensive)

I'll try and get a price update at some point, it would prove interesting to see what other peeps are being charged in our neck of the woods.

 

Digging and collecting your own bait is a great idea.......

IF, you have the time..... live near good digging areas.... are physically fit enough to dig the bait..... can plan your fishing trips well in advance....don't mind digging in all weathers.

IF the answer to all these IF's is "no problem, then go for it.:thumbs:

work , family , other commitments that just cannot be left for fishing , the shops have us by the bo****s:shutup::laugh:

 

I can no longer dig my own worms due to osteoarthritus in my elbows but I can still collect other bait from the foreshore and rock pools.

I pay 15 quid for 100 lug and they are good quality.

 

hoorugh for tackle shops and bait diggers, ware else can we get bait at short notice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:victory:

 

I dont dig or collect my own worms anymore as I dont have the time what with business, family, following the mighty spurs, golf and other things.

I occassionally collect peelers but have had enough of scrotes clearing my traps out.

I pay the following.

Blow - £4/score, usually a good size
Rag - £5/score, these are usually huge
Peelers - 90p/crab, I cant and wont complain as my supplier is excellent.

 

i pay

common £3
rag £3
yellow £4
peelers 50-80p depending on size
maddies £4
cat/snake white rag £5

but most of the time i dig my own bait

 

I do dig my own bait, and have more than covered my costs for garden fork, wellies and buckets etc. I also have a bait fridge which means I can dig a few days in advance.
There are downsides to digging your own bait, such as finding time as I do dig at night with a Tiga headlamp as the oly light available. Also the weather can cause nightmares with a strong south westerly keepin gthe water close to the shore making digging a nightmare, as can rain and snow.
However if you can dig your own bait, then you have no excuse if you don't catch with your own bait.

 

Bait collecting aint easy.Its fun if you have the time to do it and is sometimes more fun than the actual fishing Sesh. I take my hat off to the guys that dig/pump worms on a daily basis and i have found that if you can find a couple reliable diggers close to your given area Dont EVER let em down with your orders. (IE) always keep em sweet with the odd prezzie or two come christmas time. IF you look after them they will help you when bait is scarce. :notworthy:victory:

Its fun when you are digging lug and you come across a couple of king rag, or you are getting 2-3 lug per fork. Also finding new worm holding areas makes up for the rainy, cold weather and the times when you get bugger all bait

good collecting

Hi mate. In spite of what many peeps might say Fishing is expensive if you have to travel more than a few miles. It all depends on how much you want it. Many a time I have read reports on here from lads beyond the S/E area that have come to Dungie and enjoyed the Expeience. I live 50 miles from this Famous venue and an Average trip costs 40 pound plus Before you have actually caught a fish. Fuel and Bait are expensive. But actually being there is PRICELESS.

 

when smoothounds are about i spend lots but i would like to say thanks to you PETER PUFF THANK YOU AND BENO AND WOT A WHOPPER
