niftrev 2 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 giantmo said so my question is what are they and how do you catch them? I still haven't worked out how to catch these burbling bubbles myself yet.{SMILIES_PATH}/huh.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/huh.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/huh.gif Ha Ha, I've heard once bubbles are caught though they make extremely good bait as apparently all fish love them. {SMILIES_PATH}/grin.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/grin.gif There is a slight problem though I've heard they are extremely hard to put on a hook. {SMILIES_PATH}/shocked.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/wink.gifI believe sometimes fish suck too many in, and if you look carefully sometimes you can see some bubbles being blown out. This is the time to be very careful as this is when they can throw the hook.I,ve also heard puffers, toadfish and porcupine fish are partial to them. Once you've worked out how to catch them let us know how you faired and what you caught. O and before I forget, please don't forget to take video footage of the best method you used to catch them. {SMILIES_PATH}/tongue.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/grin.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/grin.gifGood luck niftrev[/color:3aisa41b] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spratrat 0 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Caaaarn, every-one knows they are "Spirit Level" bubbles {SMILIES_PATH}/wink.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/cheesy.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/grin.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/grin.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/grin.gifYep, dead set, fish flatulence captured by specialist Divers and supplied to "Stanley" and other tool makers {SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif Quote Link to post Share on other sites
giantmo 0 Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 i assumed it was some kind of bait worms or something hiding under the sand. the bubbles come out of the sand that isnt under water after waves wash over then retract. I just assumed some one would know what i was on about Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spratrat 0 Posted May 12, 2008 Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Could be worms, clickers or even methane from rotting sea-weed. Without digging it out ya can't tell but it is not an uncommon sight {SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif {SMILIES_PATH}/smiley.gif Quote Link to post Share on other sites
giantmo 0 Posted May 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2008 Cheers i was thinking it might be worms but thought i would ask to see if anyone else knew what it was Quote Link to post Share on other sites
