Did you try calling Anglers??? Or Clydes Sport Shop in Landsdowne.

 

[pretzelman]

I kinda forgot about Anglers. And I'll give Clydes a call too, haven't been there before... Thanks!

Angler's say they have pencil eels, what are they? Is that what everybody has? I never heard them refered to as that.

Eric,
Wish I had known you were going down, I was gonna go but cancelled..good luck, retired life must be nice!

Try Warrens in Glen Burnie,I think they are closed on wednsdays.

Some stores call them pencil eels and maybe it means they are 8-10" eels.......I personally like the nice 12-16" eels that Fishbones in Pasadena carries.....unfortunatly, there closed. I've seen someone buy eels from Warrens, and they where small(I guess pencils).......a little small for my liking but maybe there size varies. I Just called Clydes and he said they have about a dozen left.....10-12".......$1.50 each......he said pencils are smaller than the eels that he has. Hope this helps.

Pencil eels are dinks. I like the big mombos. Chris` bait may be vacationing in Fl for a couple weeks, call ahead. There is a shop on 13 just before entering Va but they also had pencil eels.

Thanks everyone, I had a feeling the pencil eels were kinda small. I had a boss i used to call a pencil, well you know, and it was not a term designed to make anyone think he was good sized.

Baldzilla! Retired life is good, but having to have a full time job isn't. Actually, it's not bad. I owe ya a phone call to catch up. Oh yeah, pay up your latent fanball fees.

I once had an eel crisis on the way to CBBT and got into it here with a tackle shop that wouldn't leave them out for me despite me offering my soul to them for all eternity, not to mention a bunch of cash. Fortunately, I discovered something that has paid off more than once when heading down late for a CBBT eeling trip... Gander Mountain in Salisbury has TONS of eels all the time... and they've got great hours.

I hate a big box store as much as anyone, but they are a VERY reliable last resort.
