Bait Supply

[Neilcox]

Thinking of going down to L/Bay soon, where is the best place to get bait from, i used to use the Tackle Box in Clevedon but i understand that it is closed now.

I will be coming from B/Ham on a Sunday/Sat.

any advise would be appreciated.

There's a tackle shop in Portishead marina which would only be a short detour. They told me they have regular supplies of fresh bait although I've never bought any there so it would be worth calling them first to check they have some in stock. Failing that Veals would be worth a stop on the way down. Not sure if there are any other tackle shops in Clevedon itself.

Reel Fun (Portishead Marina) no. is 01275 848652. There's also a tackle shop called Oliver's Angling listed in the Yellow Pages in Clevedon and their number is 01275 871590. Hope this helps.

Cheers Pross,

Ihave already emailed Veals to see if they still open on a Sunday, failing that i will call the number you suggested.

Just hope i am allowed to go on Sunday " er behind the door" is starting to get crabby already, why do women not understand the "art of fishing"!!!!!!!!!!!

Let you know if i go/catch.
