I always take some maggots with me but it's not my first choice of bait, Preferring corn, bread, or worm.
I'm going, I'm going, where the water tastes like wine, gonna jump in the river and stay drunk all the time.

Re: The price of Maggots
I go to a maggot farm a few miles away and get half a gallon of maggots for £6, sometimes they charge only £5. It's a very good measure. I take one of those buckets about 9in dia and it ends up about 2/3 full.

Re: The price of Maggots
I have to order mine by post if I really need some. I normally just raid my local super market for baits such as prawns, sweetcorn, cat meat. I'm fishing tomorrow so I've just mixed up some cat biscuit ground bait...it works a treat. It's surprising what baits can be made yourself.
I still wish we had a local tackle shop though, instead of one 30 miles away.

God never did make a more calm, quiet, innocent recreation than angling.

Re: The price of Maggots
£2 up er in the grim north. From a shop supplying match man supplies. Guess it's their bread and butter trade.
I have laid aside business, and gone a'fishing.

The place I'm forced to use is also geared towards our friends the match men as well as the bivvy boys. I guess he realises he's the only tackle shop for miles so can charge what he likes.Hovis wrote:£2 up er in the grim north. From a shop supplying match man supplies.
