whiting on jellyworms?

[crab-addict]

Hi everyone, this is my first post on here so please be kind.

With the weather as it is at the moment my local beaches (Fleetwood/Rossall) are infested with Whiting and to be honest I'm sick to death of them but I'm always looking to try something different so I thought why not try catching them on soft lures.

The basic plan is a decent carp rod, fixed spool filled with 12lb pre-stretched mono, 2oz fixed inline lead, about 2ft of 30lb fluorocarbon hook length and a smallish jelly-worm mounted on a 1/0 hook.

Just to make it a little more difficult I want to try this out at night when the Whiting shoal are thickest.

Possible or pointless???

Sounds like fun, you might just hit something else... Worth a try......

Welcome Along
Give it a try I would go for the Luminous ones. Then it gives the fish a chance to attack by sight as well as movement.

Cheers dude:~)

That's been suggested by someone else too along with partially wrapping the jelly body in bluey skin.

The ones I have are just plain jelly worms so I'm considering attaching a small chemical tip light by either bait elastic or possibly epoxy/superglue if it doesn't melt the worm?

You could always cut your jelly worm in half ,take a small screw make a small hole insert a glass rattle then super glue it back together then you have noise to add to your attraction of your bait add a little scent and you could have some success..we tried it for flounder with some success on the river ribble with plastic shrimp

Where do you get you're plastic shrimps and glass rattles from?

I'd been thinking about trying smaller lures on the Fleetwood side of the Wyre for the Flounders but they don't seem to have been present in the same numbers as they have in previous years. I hope they return in decent numbers when the first crabs start moulting in spring.
