Ahhh all sounds good then , are they asking if you're carrying bait or food ,,, or are they just checking COVID papers and letting you through 👍👍👍

We came out Friday night on tunnel, no checks for food or bait (didn't take food just in case ) and we only bought pellet and a few boilies as using the lake bait...
Just showed passport and asked if we were double jabbed, French side just waved us through showing nothing ...

Same for our group of 4, we travelled Newhaven to Dieppe and returned yesterday.

No checks on food or bait for us either. Only interested in our passports and COVID vaccination status.

if i was taking my own bait, i wouldnt advertise it openly, i know someone on here who got stitched up like a kipper on his way out to Les Quis some years ago.

mentioning no names

Bailifing was fun

What could you legitimately take ? Bloodworm products (seen no mention of insects) hemp oil (plant based but not a seed - seen a tea bag as an example of something that could be taken) breadcrumb? ( again seen with sandwichhate apparently the filling was the issue) ?

No meat or dairy. I'm sure small quantities won't be an issue and it's luck of the draw on if and who stops you.

I read on another forum about people getting bait confiscated and fined,but doesn't mention how much the fine is
Seems a bit potluck if I'm honest

HAVE ANYONE OF YOU LOT BEEN STOPPED????????
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
