THE TOP SIX BAITS THAT WILL CATCH YOU FISH

Among sea anglers, one of the most commonly discussed topics is which bait you choose for a specific species or which choice is most effective to spread your bets. My advice is always to do your research and try to understand what your target species are feeding on in a specific area, at the time of year you are targeting them.

For example, you may find mackerel is the most effective bait in early summer for conger or huss on Dorset’s south coast, but by October, when the sea is thick with squid, the latter will be by far the most effective bait. In my opinion, this is simply because when the fish are feeding, they get a taste for something and hone their skills on finding that particular prey, simply because it’s the most accessible and effective to hunt at that particular time.
