islandgun Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Can anyone tell me if there is still a market for lug in the winter in England, as a one time bait digger in Norfolk I find myself surrounded by untouched worm beds and a lot of free time in the winter, cheers IG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenboy Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Yes there is still a good market for fresh lug and or frozen black lug. Current prices in this area range from £13 - £20 per 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wisdom Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 Good market here on the fylde coast fresh or frozen both are sought after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandgun Posted June 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 cheers lads, the post office will do next day delivery even from here ! I was thinking a fairer way would be by the 500 gm, it would likely just be blow with perhaps a few black or silver rag, all good size though, might be putting an add in the "for sale" topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 hello, must be worth a try as i think many sea fisherman find it difficult to obtain or not near a tackle shop. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxnet22 Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 £14 from the bait diggers £20 from the shops per 100 up here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandgun Posted June 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Do you dig this time of year? No sorry far to busy with tourist's but come the winter its just me, usually do winkling up to christmas and line fishing (when weather permits) after, so looking for a bit of extra cash over winter. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazzashadow Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 I think posted lug is a great idea I have not been for ages because you would go in your local shop and ask if they had any and it was hit and miss if they had any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandgun Posted June 29, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2016 they would be in a sealed polybox and chilled, but they do say your better to use worms local to your fishing spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxnet22 Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 You could also look into frozen peeler crab if you can obtain it from your area.around these parts it's a top sea fishing bait . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
