BAIT EMERGENCY!!!

    Hey folks, its sunday morning and I want to go pike fishing tomorrow.

    I just checked the freezer and I'm all out of dead bait!!! I wanted to get some smelt to do a bit of wobbling. I'm in Dublin and have called Henry's, southside angling and Rory's but there is no answer so I assume they are closed and will be tomorrow as well, bank holiday.

    Arrrggg. I have an old eel section in the freezer but that will hardly do three people the whole day. I guess I could pick up some mack in the supermarket but its ****e for wobbling and its a river i want to go to so static deadbaiting is not what I had in mind...

    Any ideas..........

    superfreaked....

    I feel your pain. Been in that position myself.
    Was fishing a club competition a few years back and ran out of bait so had a root in the bag, had a pack of rashers for the fry so stuck one on the hooks (for the laugh). you would be surprised how well a rasher moves through the water :D
    Had two small pike on them. True story.
    Could always go pluggin?

    Bit late for me to be replying, but for future reference why not try the fish section in a tesco or Dunnes and see what they have in stock?

    Hey Lads,

    Thanks for all the tips. I wish Rory's would have answered their bloody phone!!!

    No luck fishing I'm afraid.. blankidy blank blank..

    I'm only home for ten days (work overseas now) and want to get as much fishing in as possible. So I'm going to head out to Ramor tomorrow to try my luck off the quay at Virginia.

    Does anybody know how Ramor is fishing lately??

    As I said I only have ten days and really want to bank a few Pike so if anybody want to PM with any places that are fishing well at the mo I really appreciate it.

    Cheers
