Bait
We are blessed in this area with exceptionally good Dungeness lugworm which is the top local bait for most species. Fresh lugworm (live or wrapped) is usually available (tide and weather permitting!) please call 01424 432178 and we can reserve your requirements for collection. We can also send live yellowtail lugworm and wrapped black lug fresh, salted and frozen, see the bait section for details. Maggots, casters and worms are also normally available in the shop.
We carry a very extensive range of frozen baits for sea, coarse and carp. Please click on the bait section to see what we have in stock.
We do not close for lunch or have early closing. Please see the contact page for the phone number and map. The shop is easy to find on the A259 in the Old Town about 200 yards from the seafront - look for the black fish on the wall!
