Pretty much Malt yes, as I said as a sporting fish to be returned I don't think there's a problem, as 8 shot said though they are very hot on it and will check your boat if there's any suspicion.. I tend to fish free lined live sand eel from the back beach at teingmouth or peeler crab in the Exe, the live eel on very light gear is great fun... Cheers 2 Quote Link to post
robbo 802 Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 Much the same in padstow estuary. you can fish for them but you cant keep them if your fishing from a boat.you cant use sandeels as bait either from a boat up here. 1 Quote Link to post
air gun ant 1,666 Posted May 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I no the outflows from heysham power station have been designated nursery areas and you cant fish from a boat within 500 yards or something but you could fish from the shore and take any legal size fish but I'm not sure that still stands as I havnt fished it for about 5 years now?

The tap tap first as the bass stuns the eel with its gill plates, then the draw as the fish takes the eel. Funnily enough we used to get our eels from teignmouth. We have sandeels here but they do not live long enough once seigned. The teignmouth eels would live for months in tanks but would not feed. TC Edited May 21, 2013 by tiercel 2 Quote Link to post
