runforyourlife 361 Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Oh yeah I night fish for them with tail sections..If your first one has a small mouth they usually prefer worms the larger mouthed ones prefer dead bait .Very distinct difference in the mouths found the bigger ones are the larger mouthed ones totally agree.ive spent around 20years fishing for eels.we get many perch around here at the 4lb mark but big pike(30lb plus)are rare. 30lb pike are rare anywhere Earth..... As for the eels, yea sure they like deads but try a good sized livey, just below the surface, you may find you'll catch the biggest Eel in the water! A warm muggy night with no moon and a good sized live roach (bottom lip hooked, so it lives longer) flapping about on or near the surface will do you proud. It also eliminates the smaller eels... Dontv use a float rig, use a suspended rig, or even a good strong pop up rig. The same as what you'd use for cats on a surface livebait, but trimmed down.. no offence mate,but ive been fishing them long enough and know the score but totally different to your tactics In other words go and tell someone who gives a f**k bell end Redcharge f**k you you dickhead, i was giving only trying to help and have a chat about fishing mate... Earth, i thought you were a sound guy, we have commented to each other a few times, its a forum isnt it where we put what we know on, to help others... We dont need people like red charge, its just another post ruined.... I was starting a convo thats all red charge, you thick man! Cant understand why anyone would just appear on a post, and say something like that out of the blue, never once was there a nasty word! I apoligize Earth, if you didnt want to know, but i wasnt to know you didnt want to hear anything else.... Quote Link to post

I dont know why, it just does.. Anyway glad you werent in the same boat as redcharge mate, lol. I did quite a few write ups for the eel society in years gone by, i used to really enjoy fishing for them, and still have a few sessions a year on a private estate loch, maybe we could get together some time and have a sess..its not often you meet another eel angler. I once caught an eel while trolling! did my fecking in, lol. Quote Link to post
