Bristol Channel fishing bait

The most used bait in the bristol channel is worm and fish.

Fish baits especially need to be a fresh as you can possibly get, it does make a difference (except to doggies).

Lugworm (brown coloured blow lug and black lug)

Ragworm

Mackerel, Herring and Sprats

Squid

Peeler Crab

Sandeel

For cod and general species you'll not beat black lug or king rag baits, and make them big, at least 9ins long. Squid works well both as a tipping bait, or whole for the bigger cod and bass.

Conger like a small pout or whiting.

Edible and shore peeler crab is good for bass and smoothound over rough ground.

Frozen sandeel is the best bait for the small eyed and spotted rays, with mackerel and herring strips okay for tope, conger etc.
