Spaniel Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 I seem to catch them using trout pellets on a size 16 hook I cant stand the things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vole Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Seem to remember they take any bait intended for other species. Worm or maggots/ Deadbait for big ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurcherboy Posted July 30, 2008 Report Share Posted July 30, 2008 Bloody pests around here a few years back but seem to have all but dissapeared which is annoying as I have to buy them in a £12 a kilo Got a brilliant Stein reciepe for them. Forgot to add that fishmeal/liver flavoured boilies were doing the trick LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryn Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Dead maggots seem to work well. Apparently there is a shortage of eels in the UK river / canal systems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
