For those of us who live now where near the sea what is the best bait that you can pick up from a supermarket?

hi robie
I`m in the same position crying

Uncleaned squid is ok,as is mackeral,herring and sprats,uncooked king prawns also work(black ones)
I tend to buy my squid and peelers from the chinese supermarket,as it`s cheaper big grin

If you know when you are going fishing phone a tackle shop in the area and pre order worms(give them a couple of days notice),I do.You can also get frozen bait from tackle shops but,once again,expensive.
Normally if i`m away for more than one day,I take my pump and get my own worms for the following day/s,that is cheap big grin

I know how you feel big hug

Cheers Darren cool

Mussel has to be the best bait ever, I was using it tonight whist float fishing and had a 4lb 2 0z Mullet and a cute little 1/2 lb Bass with eyes bigger than his stomach big grin

This is a bait that I have recommended time and time again. It is and always will be a killer bait for plaice and flounders. It will outfish rag, lug, squid and peeler crab on ocassions. keith

Make sure they are not cooked as they will be useless also dont forget bait elastic. Transporting them I found the easiest way was to shell them and put them in a plaastic screw type container with all the juices. This you will find dont take up a lot of room in your tackle box or haversack. keith big grin
