    Its in the water, river high and dirty so put it in a backwater.
    Less than ideal but will see what the mornin brings.
    Used a hare carcass for bait.

    What did you bait it with VC?
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Hare, i think the main problem is the spot i put it due to the conditions. Might make the opening a bit smaller to at least catch something.

    We always used to use a tin of Catfood for bait (holes punched in the tin, of course)

    What river??

    Might have to knock one up this arvo ready for the holidays. There are some nice eels in the Wairau.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

    Think you need a few wire fingers to extend into the trap off the cone,other wise they'll swim out same way they went in.
    Wire fingers then becomes all one way traffic.Beef bones or gravy beef in a mesh but need to tie the bait to the mesh or they'll just reverse out the whole with it.
    I just use a hand line, throw it out & tie it off to a tree or fence post.Lot less mucking round ,easy to carry.
    Put it in the other evening didn't get it tied off & had 1st eel hooked .Was like a can of worms in 10 minutes.(gravy beef.)
    Got 3 was enough for a feed,then off to get a trout as well .

    Put it in last night in what i thought was a near perfect spot.
    I used a jar of marmite as bait this time.
    I had cut a sleave of a cotton shirt and sown a taper down it so opening was around 50mm dia and put it on the cone so they could push in but hopefully not out.
    Got the kids up at 5am and went and checked it.
    Nothin nada zip.
    Who told me to use marmite

    Marmite? One of my cobbers is a commercial eeler. He uses Pukeko's quartered or paua guts.
    All his nets have a wing on them as well, to guide the buggers in.
