Title: sand eels for bait
Post by: noztheviking on April 16, 2009, 22:11:27 CET
Hi peeps can any of you folks tell me if you use sand eels either alive or dead for bait in Malta, of all the fishing baits that I have seen or heard about in Malta no one has ever mentioned using sandeels. Herein the UK we use sandels and crabs for bait and get better results with them, than with any of the sea worms or squid

maybe in some deep waters, or boat fishing they will be good but they are not popular in Malta.

you have to go some cliff fishing maybe

Thanks gents, was going to fetch some over to try in may. just to see if they would work.I mean any thing is worth a try. At christmas I brought some LAZY RAG from JERRYS OF MORECAMBE over with me and those worked allright so I thought I would try some sand eels  this time
