spot for sandeels around sligo/mayo

[davyp]

been thinking of trying to get a few live sandeels - anybody recommend any spots in the west where i might come accross a few?

thinkin of trying a push net - but have also heard you can get tiny feathers for catching them - anyone heard of these or used them?

any advice or help would be great

you need a spring tide for this and obviously waders,,,,and the sand gets soft

Davy, lissadell is a good spot for them, I got any amount of them there a few months ago, you can dig them out of the sand banks with a fork at low tide but its a bit of a hike out to the channel for them & the tide can fly in very quick there!!!
