Could've been the Lambton Worm.
Biggest Ragworm I've ever seen, never mind dug up, it was as thick as my middle finger! I even caught a Lobster with it!
(not crabs. A Lobster)
I don't know about your worm but shitting that crab must have been uncomfortable
such things always smart more when they come out sideways.
Always hated using raggies, bloody horrible things.
The bait that bites back 😯
Where the hell are ye fishing? In the death star's garbage dump? 😆

Fishing at Seaham but got the King Rag at Hartlepool.
Now, there's a nuclear power station just down the road, whether this has anything to do with the above worm is anyone's guess!
Seaham...... Hartlepool.
Give me the death stars garbage dump any day 🙂
Could be worse, could be South Gare.

Just wait 'til it gets dark and turn the lights out...

Last time I fished there some **** nicked me door mirror! (Just the glass though)
4 people looked at that worm & they all said, '**** me!'
South Gare - now there's a flash back to my youth.
Lucky it was just the door mirror.
That's about average length of rag from my local bait collection point. Had them up to 3ft before and seen a mobile pic of one at approx 5ft long. The peelers and blow lug in that area are huge too.
Over a foot long I'd say...

I can well believe that. A guy we were talking to reckoned he had a 4ft Rag from where we got ours.
Where are you Supreambean?
Black Isle, north of Inverness. Local beach/ harbour has plenty of bait, rag(all kinds), blow lug, peelers, mussels, cockles and spooties all within 100m of carpark.
You lucky sod! Here's me 50 miles from the sea in North Yorks. Best mussels I've had were from Kinlochourn on the West.
What's the sea fishing like up your way?
Yes, the mussels and lug from KLH are huge, was working/fishing there last year.
Fishing is poor on the Black Isle, Cromarty pier for mackies and sandeel in late summer, most beaches have flatties and small species.That's about it. I hit Skye for summer fishing and Aberdeen in winter for cod. Both normally a fish a chuck, very productive.
Any idea's about Kinlochbervie area?
I heard from a forum it was excellent for winter cod.
Not too sure about that. Cod are very sparse on the west coast. I have only caught kelpies up west. I think it would be a long wait but i'm sure there are very big cod up there, just not in any numbers. East coast is best for winter cod, from south Aberdeen down to Arbroath. Rough sea with a chocolate brown colour to the water and you will catch big bags most marks. I can usually take 10-15 cod home from a 2 hour sesh there if conditions are right. 3-9lb range in weight.
Cheers Bean, will check that out even further. Sod riding a bike when there's Cods around!
Over a foot long I'd say...
RAGGATIP - why have you got your Y-fronts round your ankles 😯
RAGGATIP's off subject, that's not a Ragworm, ignore.
I will be heading to my parents in Aberdeen for a week of codding at christmas. 😀
Got a freezer full of mackeral and 50 pulley rigs made up. Could do with some black lug though, cant seem to find them up this way. Are rag good for winter bait? Usually use them for wrasse and pollock in summer. Not tried them in winter, never heard of anyone using them up this way either. Same with peelers, cod no really interested in them up here. Mackies, squid, mussels and lug mainly.

Thought the topic here was worms. Damn I'll have to keep an eye out for a Ragworm on my next ride now.
Ok Raggy, I'll let you off but if you head down Hartlepool beach on a fatbike beware of giant woims!
Fatbikes are so last year. Just ride the worms!
such things always smart more when they come out sideways.
Don't crabs always go sideways?
Are rag good for winter bait?
Not sure about up your way, seem to get results down here on the North East. Folks go on about peelers, razor & lug being good for winter.
I catch naff all anyway! 😥
