Eel Spots?

[4liters]

dandenong creek off stud rd. try behind the police paddocks, theres a walking track along the creek. any hole will have em & carp. both good bait for gummies.

That's a good idea, a fair bit closer than the spot I had in mind for a bit of bait collecting tomorrow afternoon. I suppose the eels from there wouldn't be fit for human consumption?

I'd be very careful bush bashing around police paddocks lol...We're always very careful when working up there..

What? Carp? Havnt heard that before!!

:a_goodjob: I take off the scales & fillet them, cut slices & through the hook once, they have some oil & smell to them. keep the head whole, single hook through the top lip & make sure it doesn't spin in the current.
if you catch too many, they make great burley mixed in with some bran. :thumbsup:

I know ppl who have eaten them from there, I wouldn't. old mate & I have caught 100's over the last 20 years in the stretch of creek from stud rd to SE FWY. go down Brady RD (off stud rd) & you can walk along the track in either direction. We've caught them right up to Canterbury Rd in Vermont.

i think there was some action with the police in the area a couple of weeks back :icon_lolz:

Huh i know a spot where i catch billions of carp atleast 3 everytime but i dont go there often and a lot of Asian people there like to eat carp. Might have to go back to use as bait :D :victory: :water:

I gave it a miss based on this advice and went to whiskers' secret carp spot instead for three chunky little mud suckers. Stayed on into the dark for a while but couldn't coax an eel even when using fresh carp as bait
