Thats a great offer on the peelers mate

 

If your gonna fish live eels in the estuary you need to leave your beach gear at home, fish with a light rod ( coarse gear ,barbel rod or even match rod) and no more than 8lb line or braid on a small spinning reel. Attach a swivel and a 4-6ft trace and tie on a size 4 or 6 carp type hook. Lip hook the live eel and flick it out into the current and let it go with the flow (no weight) ( similar to stick float fishing in a river) there's no way you'll catch crabs and hopefully you'll catch some fish. If they've got eels on the back beach chances are there'll be a few fish in the estuary thats what they're after.

To be honest it's a bit early yet another month or so and there should be a few about.

good luck for next time mate
