Stella Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 most people use unbaited traps, bait doesn't make much of a difference. Those that use bait often use cat food or marmite. I think it would be hard to selectively bait against eels. Probably your best option would be to restrict the mouth of the trap so large eels couldn't get in, I find that whatever the size of the mouth is the size of the largest fish in there - both eels and kokopu seem happy to squeeze through! Kokopu and bullies are pretty easily caught while spotlighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
