My short lived advice fishing at Wingham is fish with corn and worms. Both will get you Tench and bream and perch and eels and sadly carp .

groundbait again made up of the above with hemp and crumb...

Leave all that fancy Fanny Fartbrass stuff.

 

Rigs. Choose your own both work well.

 

Plain and simple .....


There is not one thing different between ideology and religeon

BUDGIE,

 

Alas, I won't be there but I do have an eel question. (what a strange thread this turns out to be). I have never seen or heard of an eel being fair caught on a lure or artifical bait. When you use worm and corn can you use artifical corn?

Do eels EVER fall to artificals?

Anderoo,

 

Thx.

You know the little artifical "bugs"? I wonder if they would "target" eel. My VERY limited experience is that eel like bugs best. Usually where the wind has blown them into large quantities up against the bank. Or, as an example, behind a wing dam grasshoppers often swirl and sink by the 100's.

(just conversation, I don't know eels, my PB maybe 1.5 lbs and I'm ashamed to say it was put to use as bait)

Hi phone, I have the distinction of catching an eel from a Broadland marina while spinning for Pike, not a big one,around a pound and a bit but fairly hooked. :boat:

All,

 

So I guess they are just fish. Strange fish but just fish. I certainly would not have thought of an eel on the fly.

 

I think the "record" eel in Missouri is about 4 lbs. In clear water you can see them targeting bugs.

Yes, a margin feeding eel expertly stalked with a small PTN.

 

I.e. saw it in the edge and dangled the fly on its nose, and it snapped at it :)
