It was in 90m out from Rocky, had a few Dhui's spew them up when they hit the deck but never caught a Dhu putting EEL on the hook. I can have squid, herring etc on the other hooks and EEL on the other and they still go for the herring or squid??
nasty annoying little critters and always end up in a huge mess, funny enough not getting bites on them when its well know and proven its a big part of the dhuies diet
I hate the pesky things. Really rough, heavy consistent bottom. Were there is food, there is fish. Maybe should try lotto as the chances of a triple...
