Eel
No pictures of it,
I was out fishing at Two Rocks the other evening, just caught a few Tailor and smallish Herring when I decide to pack up for the night.
Now I don't take the remnants of my bait home, I just feed it to the seagulls or drop into the side to feed the crabs and prawns.
Well this time, the rods are packed away, bag packed and I am dropping the last of ten Mulies in the side and watching the prawns swarming around when up pops this humungous Eel.
It was at least 3ft long and it just saunters up, picks up a mulie and then back down it goes again.
Just wondering what type of Eel are in WA and if they are catchable?
I know that back in the UK, Eels fight like hell for the size of them and I for one would,ve liked that on the end of my line.
Couldn,t make out any colour on it ,it just seemed to be a browney/grey colour and as thick as my wrist. ( And my wrist has had plenty of action over the years)
Hey, I'm a plumber and the pipe cutters are used with a wrist action

Thanks for that, Not too
Thanks for that,
Not too bothered about fish wrecking my rigs, I can always make another. :)
Are they catchable and do they bite?
As out again at Two Rocks last night, It was blowing one big hooley, it rained, the wind was blowing from sh1t island and I all I caught was a load of undersized Blues.
