Sandeels are probably one of the most popular summer baits there are. They are very sought after during the summer when fishing for Bass etc. The sandeel is a common natural bait to many fish and this is reflected in the results in which people have, when using them. They are not the easiest fish to catch in number except in certain parts of the UK where people specialise in catching them throughout their season. Once caught the sandeel has to be processed immediately because they are so very fragile. Once they have left the water it doesn’t take too long for their bellies to begin to split.
