So here are some questions.....
1) How do I get hold of sea worms?  Can I buy them or do i dig for them?  I've never used them before.

You can catch them by going down at a low tide and turning over a few rocks.

The big ones can inflict a pretty good bite too!!!  If you turn a rock and dont see one, dig down a few inches.  If the sand is fairly wet you shouldnt have a problem finding any...theyre often drab green in color with tons of little legs that stick out to the side.  Nasty looking critters but arguably the best bait for the piers!  You can also keep them in some seaweed and a little sand overnight in your fridge...just dont mix them up with your lunch.

Thanks for all your suggestions...swell!!!

ONe more dumb question....how does one fish in freshwater without a fly rod outfit?   I have a open face reel fit with a spin rod. How should it be rigged for freshwater fishing?  Really don't intend to buy a fly rod for now.

Putting coarse salt on shrimp? How does it help? And is fishing still good at ambleside this time of year? Sorry for all these questions, but what would you size of hooks would u guys use?

Thanks. Ian

Thanks. Ian

It toughens the meat. Makes it stay on the hook longer.
