    Dave Coster's Fishing Diary- January 2019

    Dave's How To - Take The Red Route

    Red is a very popular bait colour, after all, red maggots have been best sellers for many years. I can also remember catching well on canals using red pinkies and squatts, baits that are rarely used these days. Then there was bloodworm and jokers,
