Ask him if we can go hunting instead;):D

Was thinking one of the regions most popular swimming holes.
There's some big Buggers in there
;)

Its not big enough for that:D

Now i have satisfyed myself the trap actually works will have to set further afield and try and get some big ones.

3rd time lucky.
3 small eels not worth pissing round with but at least the kids saw and touched.
Bait was bone tainted dog chewed pork.

Yacht. "willi nilly"
Dunno when it sank but a fair while ago.

Yea, its a few miles out tho.

Never heard the milk one, why don't they just follow it downstream?

Ah that makes more sense then.

I look forward to it.

What's it like just fryd fresh?

How on earth did you end up with eels? Were yet using marmite ?:D

Yea I only used it because there is nothing in the freezer I dont want to eat at the moment.

Put it in last night in what i thought was a near perfect spot.
I used a jar of marmite as bait this time.
I had cut a sleave of a cotton shirt and sown a taper down it so opening was around 50mm...

Hare, i think the main problem is the spot i put it due to the conditions. Might make the opening a bit smaller to at least catch something.

Fail lol.
Bit slimy round the cone so maybe some boot laces had been in but got out.
Will give it another crack in better spot next weekend if river not up.

Its in the water, river high and dirty so put it in a backwater.
Less than ideal but will see what the mornin brings.
Used a hare carcass for bait.

Here's hoping!
Was actually thinkin of making some little ones for them.

Its pretty Pissy galv mesh so don't think it will last long but should serve the purpose.

Pretty much done.
Just got to lace the ends on.
Will just zip tie one end so can get them out.

They are in the nz educational system so can count and spell better in Moari than English.

I don't care what its called I will call it a trap, I just want my kids to catch some eels and have some...

I can't say that let alone spell it lol.

If that works with no cones then i can't fail!
Famous last words lol

Yea the main motivation here is get the kids into outdoors.
I have been watching them turn into townies.(not their fault, its where we live:thumbdown:)

I demand a dislike button ! :D:D:D
