Andy135 Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I'd say you have the basics covered. Never used cart/scallop frills etc so can't comment on whether they're worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPSguru Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 2 hours ago, mike farrants said: they do have cuttle available i think...... I catch my own cuttle. They come into Torbay and Lymebay to spawn. One of the Brixham boats landed a record haul last year which was worth £220k. They call cuttle ‘black gold’ here.

Yes, when @Davemc and I were bassing in Jersey a couple of years ago we saw one of the locals catch a cuttle on a squid jig off a harbour wall at night.

Saintly Fish Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Leo caught one last year in the Solent. Unfortunately he dropped it at the side of the boat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are motoring around spring time and you see a couple of gulls sat on the surface pecking at something, motor over with the net ready 99% they are pecking a cuttle, I used to get quite a few that way mike farrants 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
