Slugs

[longdog13 36]

Specifically big fat orange ones, Are these any good for bait? i'm going down to the Medway at Maidstone, a slow flowing deep stretch with the usual overhanging bushes etc. There is the downside of fishing there which is the constant riverboat action. The plus side is that there is some monster fish in there, 30+ carp, 20+ pike, huge perch, barbel, bream the lot.

So back to my original question, these big fat orange slugs i have in my garden, any good??? also, hook sizes to use and technic etc???? All input appreciated.

What do you recon, a size 8/10? floated or free lined? i just figure i get so many of these mutated massive slugs every time it rains it'd be great to find a use for them.

Messy game slugs. Slimy a fu*k and difficult to get the slime off your fingers after hooking them. Freeline them.

 

best of luck.
