- Ground bait can be added into a sack and hung over a harbour wall, rockmark or jeti.
- Add ground bait to a sack and peg it in the sand at low tide mark. Add a bit of rope with a floating marker so that when the tide comes in you know where to cast to.
- Feeders are just as popular for sea fishing as they are for freshwater. Pack a feeder full of groun bait and attach i to your rig above the lead.
Ground bait types and uses
- For a quick release mixture for close range fishing for flounder and other Flatfish use dry white bread crumb mixed with finely chopped bits of worm or crab. For added attraction add Peeler or Rag oil.
- For oily baits like mackerel, Sprat, Pilchard when targeting bream, rays and huss and large eels, then use a fine bran. This helps soaks up the oil & juices better. For added attraction add Pilchard or Sardine oil.
