A friend of mine is worried about catching eels on an up-coming fishing holiday. I've tried to reasure them but would like some replies on how to avoid them.
Come on please folks, help me with this. I'll make sure the person gets to see the thread and will hopefully alay their fears. -------------------- Eat right, stay fit, die anyway. |

Keep the bait off the bottom, tons of eels in my local river (Worcestershire Avon)and they do take sweetcorn.

sweetcorn is good, as are pellets etc, what fish do they want to catch? then we can recommend specific baits

My biggest eel recently came on sweetcorn, but in general avoid meaty baits, especially at dusk / night and you'll not see many of them.
