Eel

Post by Wolly Bugger » Sun Aug 19, 2012 7:38 am

Well last night finally bit the bullet and went out to see if I could catch an eel or two.

Locally there are a few little pond, plus a nearby creek. We tried one of the ponds. After dark, worms on a small hook plus a yabby net with some fishy smelling cat food in it.

Well we drew a blank, no fresh eel but then will try again.
