mike farrants Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Tim somehow hooked a scallop while fishing and i wasnt going to let the opportunity pass - i took it home, chucked, cleaned, fried in garlic and chilli and served with crispy bacon bits as a starter. delicious! kept the frills for bream bait!

Malc Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 Nice! I hooked one off Plymouth by a wreck, apparently you can disturb them with your lead and they squirt away from it by quickly opening and closing their shell. I was using a 10' flying collar rig, not sure if that's a standard rig for them though 😂 mike farrants 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike farrants Posted April 4, 2022 Author Share Posted April 4, 2022 this was on a ledger rig - and the hook was in the shell so maybe it was open as it dragged over then clamped shut on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malc Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 That was how mine was, unfortunately there was no ice box back then and it was roasting hot or I would have taken it home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an arrangement with the local dive boats, they keep me fed in scallops, and I will always move on if they want to dive, also we often have an exchange of fresh Pollock / Mack for scallops on the slipway !
