The fishing thread ( not about fish fertilizer)

[conor c]

I also like to keep busy on the move so I bait fish in a couple ways, the worm I fish with a pencil lead/bouncing betty down through a stretch its not a static type fishing.

And after a summer spate on the local burns I use wasp grubs or doken grubs fished of my fly rod its really productive method though frowned upon by the younger generation lol.

Only cos they canny do it or dont know about it ive used docken leaf grubs myself in the past they can be great for brownies

Razor clams are second only to abalone in the hierarchy of shellfish imo

Whaaat, Sammy.Thought I told you to keep your head down lol

@buckaclark 35 and 100 million might as well be the same thing, far too long to really comprehend either of them lol

I used to fish the shad run from the banks of the Potomac river growing up in DC. People would line up all along the river with dip nets just scooping them up out of the creek channels. I didn't care for them but my mom used them for fertilizer for her garden and we gave a bunch away to people that would pickle them. That's where I learned how to fish for catfish too. As I got older I became just a bass fisherman until I got injured and stopped fishing. I still take people out a lot as we have a lake house but rarely fish anymore.
