Where to get bait when fishing at Dungeness?

[codder]

Seagull Fishing Tackle sell bait, it's not the cheapest at £5 a score, but the owner is pleasant and seems to be honest about when it's dug and the quality. Only 5 mins drive from Dungeness for directions see http://www.seagullfishingtackle.com The site is actually quite useful, catch reports, tides, weather etc.

Tight lines!

I've found Seagull tackle are very good. An old fashioned fishing shop only a couple of minutes from the point with good service and advice if you need it. They also have a really useful website with catch reports, weather, tides etc. Everything in one place when planning a trip! http://www.seagullfishingtackle.com

We left North West Kent this morning hoping to pick up some bait in RYE, unfortunately we could only find one tackle/bait shop and they had no lug.

So we bought frozen Mackeral, Sand Eels and Squid there and drove on down to Dungeness, keeping our eyes peeled going around LYDD as I was informed that some of the bait diggers put out boards if they have lug for sale.

We did not see any signs and soon arrived at Dungeness by the black 'n' white light house we bought from Dungeness some poor quality lug at £7.00 for two score... but really we had no choice at this time but to purchase what was on offer.

So next time we make the trip.... which should be soon as the kids are on holidays this week coming, I would like to know where in the Dungeness/Rye area we can purchase good bait.

We drive through Rye/Camber Sands/Lydd/Dungeness, Local to where we live the tackle shops cater for course fishing not sea angling therefore don't stock lug or rag.

Many thanks for your time, look forward to all replies.
