    No, we were fishing wreck Willy Nilly off the cut. had 2 large 1/2 eels on on long line, set down one side and 1 live on on the one set the other side. Anchored directly over the wreck and caught 3 more. Well the other 2 guys did my fishing luck yesterday was the same as Dougies relationship with her car.

    if they are out of a good river then fresh fried is good.
    irrigation ditches and the like tend to get smoked and sent north.
    I find hot water best for cleaning off the slime.

    It's just a smear of marmite in a 35mm film container with small holes/knife cuts.

    No worries, given the 1/2 of the 2 eels were over 10lb each on their own, there was a large bitey thing down thing there. Glad I/m not a swimmer

    Pour some full cream milk upstream from your Hinaki.

    Not too much ... a pint or so is enough.

    Works well for me.

    Smoked eel is delicious

    Might have to put out my net this weekend....... got me hungry for some just by talking about it.

    Cheers
    Pete

    I know the milk trick, but the marmite tomorrow is to show VC it does work . . . or get egg on my face.

    Never heard the milk one, why don't they just follow it downstream?

    There's a wreck off the cut ??

    I assume you're talking about the cut between the boulder bank and haul ashore ?

    VC

    The Eels downstream from your trap will detect the milk in the water and follow the scent upstream looking for the source and hopefully swim into your trap.
