I can barely take an eel off a fishing line when fishing i have no chance eating them lol. 

Little b*****ds they are sometimes that’s all I used to catch bootlace eels

I used to love eel fishing, we used to catch some good sized ones, many years back we would take them home for the local old boys, they lived em, kept them in a bath overnight, skinned the next day, thems were the days.

River Nene , Then up to Lincolnshire was packed with them. HOWEVER? A related question to all our anglers. LAST TIME YOU SAW OR CAUGHT A LAMPREY?? Bet that's got you guessing Jok.

Never caught one jok, but I know the nene very well indeed.

Eh up edrd and Rabid. Yes the river Nene was , and probably still is, a great place for both eels and lampreys. You would need to know where though. Just by the power station and Avon Cosmetics on the Bedford Rd was the place to be but there was loads more. Jok.

Mate. We are going way of subject for which I apologise. When diving off the East coast , I never,, ever, gave out way points. My wrecks were closely guarded and in fact not that many were registered on the register. I will say that fishing was not high on the agenda but  when it came to inshore I wasn't too bothered. Jok.

The hunger cure ?

I didn't have clue what that lot was until I read through. It might eat ok but it looks disgusting.

3 pies?  What sort of pies are they?

When I was living on the Isle of Dogs my Nan used to take a washing up bowl full of Jellied Eels down the pub on a Saturday night my brother was always getting them out of the Thames, there must be a few on here who remembers Tubby Issacs Aldgate petticoat lane area back in the day he was the King of jellied eels bless him.

Nice looking bit of Grub GL I  took a mate to the Pie and Mash in woolwich once and ordered mine he took one look at the liquor nearly threw up and asked for gravy I was horrified.
