Catching Sandeel

[Conger]

Hi Lads, not to take over the post that blacker put up, wondering whats the best way to catch live sandeel, have netted before but got the wrong end of the stick due to being taller than the other 2 lads and end result of that one was me ending up very very wet is there a distinguishing marker on sand to look out for ???????? really haven't a clue what to look out for

Regards

I have managed to get some live sandeel when I have been digging for lug worm.
Trying to grab the wee buggers before they buried themselves back down into the sand and escape was very funny they are very quick!
Here's a picture of ones I got in May this year. Small in size but still a great bait.

Cheers mate, they are a very good bait, you should try and get some sometime. Best in the summer months The hands in the picture aren't mine by the way, they are K2's. They are far too big to be mine!

Thanks Kerry1, Great pics of the sandeel, have to keep a closer eye when i am digging lug, i can see hours of fun ahead trying to grab them by the way i was actually wondering about those hands i was trying to figure out how tall you were

My hands may be small but they will still go around your neck when I strangle you
Only joking, would I do that to you?
We're getting way off topic here but who cares, it's all good fun

No problem mate. When are we going to get out for a session again?
When can you fit me in with your busy schedule
It doesn't even have to be for the mullet, our last mackerel session was a good laugh
This beats texting anyday, and it's cheaper!!

Sorry Conger, only noticing your reply now, I was too busy winding up my mate Dawsey
I am not very tall at all actually, approx. 5ft 1
Have fun getting your sandeels, you'll need to be quick to catch them!

Not to worry Kerry1, i had kinda forgotten what i had asked, i was enjoying the banter above as well,

We did get way off topic but I love winding Dawsey up, he deserves it!
All good banter as you said.
