The best bait I’ve used is a 50p tin of mackerel in oil from Tesco’s.

Nothing doing on the crayfish front, but catching loads of eels and some reasonable sizes as well plenty of 2 and 3lb ers

This bit!!!!!

You must not transport or take live crayfish away from the location you caught them. There are 2 exceptions to this:

• if you have a licence, for example, to keep live crayfish for commercial processing on your premises in England
• if you have a permit to keep live specimens for research or conservation in England and Wales
