There’s still a lot of empty muddies, and it’s best to throw these ones back and wait for some full ones. To find out whether your muddies are empty of full, feel beside the flap of under the claws on the carapace (body) of the muddy for hardness.

Please do yourself and me a favour and don’t bring your own bait to Stanage. Stanage Bay Marine & Accommodation buys all type of bait in bulk. I sell in smaller amounts as well as bulk amounts and can match any advertised or written quote prices you can throw at me. Come on people, fair’s fair. By doing this, you can keep Stanage Bay Marine & Accommodation in business for yourself and others, for now and the future, which is in your hands.
