One angler, fishing Smiths Dock, used mackerel and ragworm to land a codling of 5lb. |
The ragworm is another species that is highly valued as bait. |
Anglers had a selection of baits with them lugworm, ragworm mackerel, sandeel and peeler crab to catch that winning fish. |
The bulk of cod fishing is done with worm baits, usually lugworm due to the copious amounts of blood juice the lug holds, but also ragworm. |
Now researchers report that something resembling a cerebral cortex exists in the marine ragworm, a small creature with ancient roots that has not changed in hundreds of millions of years. |
Several other anglers also caught early Pouting using mostly lugworm and ragworm baits presented on three hook rigs clipped down to gain a little extra distance. |
