	Sand-Eel - LoveToKnow 1911
		Sand eels destroy a great quantity of fry and other small creatures, such as the lancelet (Amphioxus), which lives in similar localities.
		The eggs of sand-eels are small, heavier than sea-water and slightly adhesive: they are scattered among the grains of sand in which the fishes live, and the larvae and young at various stages of growth may be taken with the row-net in sandy bays in summer.
		Sand-eels are common in the N. Atlantic; a species scarcely distinct from the European common sand-launce occurs on the Pacific side of N. America, another on the E. coast of S. Africa.

	Sand launce
		The sand eel is a slender fish, its body about one-tenth as deep as it is long (not, counting caudal fin), with long head and sharply pointed nose, wide gill openings, and large mouth with the lower jaw projecting far beyond the upper.
		Sand eels are found chiefly along sandy foreshores, also over the shoaler parts of the offshore fishing banks; they are seldom seen off rocky parts of the coast, or over muddy bottoms in deep water.
		Sand eels' noses are so sharp that when they are swallowed by cod, and perhaps by other fish, they sometimes work right through the stomachs and into the body cavities of their captors, to become encysted in the body wall.

	Underwater World - Sand Lance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		They spawn on sand in shallow water during the winter months and their eggs are laid on, or fall to the bottom where they stick to sand grains.
		Although sand eels feed on a variety of small organisms, by far the most important in their diet is copepods, particularly Calanusfnmarchicus which, in one study, occurred in 95 per cent of fish examined and formed 65 per cent of total stomach contents.
		Claims that concentrations of sand lance are seen on the surface at night may result from confusion with the saury or billfish (Scomberesox saurus) which occurs in large schools on the Scotian Shelf in summer and is attracted to the lights of fishing vessels.

		Sand eels are supposedly one of the best baits for tempting rays from the shore and also a good bait for dogfish.
		Sand eel can often be the make-or-break bait for the angler during a trip and can entice fish to feed when other baits are totally ignored.
		Sand eel can also be used as a whole fillet for smaller species like whiting, dabs, and makes a good bait to tip worm off with to target bigger whiting amongst the passing shoal and larger than average dabs.

	WDFW -- WA State Forage Fish: Sand Lance
		Sand lance deposit eggs on a rather broad range of beach surface substrates, from soft, pure fine sand beaches to beaches armored with gravel up to 3 cm in diameter, although most spawning appears to occur on the finer grained substrates.
		Sand lance are somewhat unique in their generalized diurnal behavior pattern, feeding in the open water during the day and burrowing into the sand at night to avoid predation.
		Sand lance are not regularly harvested for bait or human consumption in Washington.

	Tying the Soft Hackle Sand Eel
		Sand eels (or sand lances) are found throughout the northeast and are a favorite food for stripers.
		One of my favorite sand eel imitations is the Soft Hackle Sand Eel, an extension and simple variation of the Soft Hackle Streamer (the Fly of the Month for February, 2001).
		It's important to remember that the sand eel is a very slender baitfish and, therefore, your imitations should be tied rather slender as well.

	Fly of the month
		These bass were not huge but about 1 kilo, when they had located the shoals of sand eels they would smash into them and then thrash around, stunning or killing a few sand eels each time, they would then cruise around and pick up the victims.
		I have been told that the sea bass uses the two sharp pointed gill covers to kill the sand eels, these are more prominent on smaller fish than larger ones, you should be careful of these when handling sea bass, they can give you a nasty cut.
		Sand eels shoal in very large numbers, but are seldom seen during the day in the shallows as they lie buried in the sand.

	Call Them In Like Dogs
		In my opinion, the most important bait present in the waters of Cape Cod and the surrounding islands is the American sand lance (Ammodytes americanus) or sand eel (common name referring to their eel-like appearance) which remains throughout the fishing season as a significant near-shore resident.
		Although there is another closely related species of sand eel referred to as the northern sand lance (Ammodytes dubius) which also inhabitat these waters, it tends to remain offshore in deeper water.
		Sand eels are found from the Canadian Maritime provinces to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.

	Eel River & Plymouth Beach
		Originally, the beach consisted of sand hills and hollows, covered with beach grass, excepting an area of about 80 rods in length, and 30 rods in breadth, which was a thick forest.
		The inner side of the beach was covered with plum and wild cherry trees, and the swamp with large pitch pine and beech wood, with a large quantity of white grape-vines attached to the trees.
		The same year a committee from the town viewed the breaches, and reported that a wall of eighty feet in length and four feet high, would be competent to the repairs, with a hedge fence in low places; and that it would require about 1000 tons of stone, and at the cost of £414.

	Sand lance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Several species of sand lance are commonly known as "sand eels" or "sandeels", though they are not related to true eels.
		Sand lances are most commonly encountered by fishermen in the North Pacific and North Atlantic, but are found in oceans throughout the world.
		As adults, sand lances are harvested commercially in some areas (primarily in Europe), leading to direct human competition with diving birds such as puffins, auks, and cormorants.

	Barry Ord Clarke - Sea trout patterns - sea, flies, tying descriptions, Matuka Tobis
		There are 5 common species of sand eel in europe, but the only one of real importance to the fly rodder is the lesser sand eel (Ammodytes tobianus).
		When hatched the young sand eels are planktonic and grow only 20-30mm the first year.
		Fishing the sand eel is methodical, if there are no sea trout rising you must of course fish blind, for the most part in the top two metres of water.

	THE EELS. FAMILIES ANGUILLIDAE, CONGRIDAE, SIMENCHELYIDAE, SYNAPHOBRANCHIDAE, NEMICHTHYIDAE, AND OPHICHTHYIDAE
		There are several other fishes of eel-like form in the Gulf of Maine, viz., the hag and the lampreys the rock eel (Pholis); the snake blenny (Lumpenus); the wrymouth (Cryptacanthodes); the eel pout (Macrozoarces); and the sand eel (Ammodytes).
		Common, conger, slime, and long nosed eels look much alike in general form, but are separated from one another by the size of the mouth and by the relative lengths of the fins.
		In the snipe eels the two jaws are prolonged into a very long slender beak, recalling that of a silver gar, the tail is whiplike, the neck noticeably slimmer than the head, and the general form extremely slender, while the snake eel is very slender with a hard pointed tail.

	Not enough fish in the sea: Sand-eel fisheries around the Shetland isles are in decline, and young seabirds are dying - ...
		The crash of sand eels was foreseen by fisheries biologists, but the government did nothing to prevent it.
		No one has yet proved that the shortage of sand eels is caused by the fishing boats, which takes sand eels for processing into oil and fish meal.
		But because sand eels are naturally short-lived, it is inherently difficult to prove that fishing is causing the decline until after the damage has been done.

	"Juro's Sand Eel" pattern - Flytalk

		I got an e-mail from a buddy of mine that this is called a "Deep Sand Eel." I did a search under patterns and found out a bunch of information on it.
		But the clouser is not a sand eel, especially when we are talking about 10" rip eels, hence the 'eel'.

		Sand eel populations in North Sea decline taking seabirds populations down
		Many species of seabirds are failing to breed there because of a sharp decline in the population of sand eels, which the birds eat.
		Sand eel numbers, in turn, are dwindling because the cold-water plankton on which they feed is being replaced by plankton that thrives in warm water.
