Saw a couple of ppl eel fishing regularys at Boles.

Rank if you ask me

[Rainey]

Sure if... apparently i read somewhere... correct me if i'm wrong.. that if you catch an eel as its organs are just behind its head and you go prodding with a discourger then you can seriously hurt them..... so they said just cut the line as close to the mouth as you can and they will shred the hook is this right...

I dont know, but ill tell you this -

I would never touch an eel. I would have a breakdown instead

In general eel numbers are dwindling, still have a presence on some waters though. Used to get loads of bootlaces in the Ribble, don't know if it's still the same?

Would always unhook them, biggest problem is keeping hold, especially the small bootlaces. Was a 5lb'er this year from a water I've been fishing.

Have seen a few snakes as well in the summer this year.

I'de **** it and run round screaming like a girl if i saw a snake...

Just looked about grass snakes and They hibernate from October to March so i am safe for the time being...

[mancity]

If I saw a wild snake, i would simply touch cloth

[Rainey]

yep me too i don't mind rats or mice or spiders or anything really... just them slimey ****ers
