crazy fred Posted December 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 did you say crap angler or carp! as none of it worked good enough to entice a cod onto the end of one of these lovely tasty baits ,which by the way stank like hell , but we did catch an aray of other fish to these strange freshwater taticts conger dogs and pout Fred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam F Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 One of the guys I often see launching at Wick uses boilies for cod...he said he tried it last year on a spare rod, just whacked on a string of 8+ 32mm fishy boilies and wedged the rod up near the wheel house....they forgot about it all day and after using countless pounds of fresh squid and cuttle were astounded when just before they left for home, they hear a screaming drag...look round to see the spare rod doubled over - 20lb plus cod! Never got round to trying it myself though.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DommyBoy Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 To be fair though would you use them? I wouldnt even though im a carp angler at heart i would prefer using a fat squid or a macky rather than a few boilies on a poxy hair rig. No reason why it shouldnt work but one of my mates Rick has tried this a few times on a spare rod and not even had a nibble form a Doggy or Pout. Nah i'll stick to using a live joey or a bunch of stinking squid. Dom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
