Theres alot of advice on how to find sand eel,s on the beech ,somwhere on the Wales and venue reports or it mybe shore angling advice not sure but no its there wwhat i can rember is that you can find them a couple of inches below the sand at the low water mark ,you can use the blunt side of a knife, other than that try using tiny hokies from the rocks .Or try another post on the sites i,ve mentioned above . P.S. any info on Bude would be grateful. regaurds alanc .

if your comming down the south coast you can get live eels at sandies tackle in redruth he always has a good stock of frozen bait also best phone first about the live eel though every year he has never let me down

Anyone know if theres a tackle shop in bude?

There are two.

One is up the Right hand main shopping street about half way up and above a pet shop.

The other is by the dock / waterside area Just outside of town. This is about 300m down the Widemouth Road and take the Right before the bridge.

Dont think they do live eel though but keep some wrom and frozen baits.
