Thread: Legalitys of catching Eels.

Was thinking with the days getting shorter the kids wouldnt have to stay up too late if I was to throw a sack full of guts in the creek tied to a tree one night and we could watch the swarming/writhing mass of eels in the torch light.
And if there was a decent one hook it out with a sharp Gaff and eat it.

Would this still be legal or am I likely to end up in front of the judge?

My kids are townies, its not their fault thats where we live. Want to get them out doing some of the things I took for granted as a country kid.
