For Visiting Anglers: Tackle Shops

A word about about bait:

Frozen squid is an excellent all-round bait, and readily available. Fresh mackeral can be feathered from May to September, and is the best bait of all. Ragworm can be bought but it is advisable to order ahead. It is usually sold by weight. Slipper limpet, clams and oysters can be gathered on the beach, particularly around Langstone Harbour entrance, after storms. Hermit crabs and hardback shore crabs are good smoothound baits, these can be caught in small crab pots left out overnight.

Frozen squid can be bought at the local shop on the corner of Ferry Road and Fort Comberland Road on the way in to Eastney.  Frozen bait can also be bought at the kiosk in the car park by the Ferry Inn on the Hayling side of Langstone Harbour entrance, although it is not always open.
