That's sounds good advice from my advice from top post I have never used Eels plus I have only got sharks outside fishing from boats with baits Frank has put you on a good lead.
I have fished there many times for trout and as Trev said power bait that you can get at tackle stores is the way to go also I would try worms rainbow and brown trout will be your target fish there wish you luck Greg
If we look after them by doing the right thing as you say it should be all right like you said we all like a feed of crabs I myself love mud crabs chilli mud crabs cant beat
