As I point out in post 34, I found the water within 2 mins of some googling. No number plates required.

If he's a secret squirrel of any kind I doubt very much he'll have those plates on display if at a secret water, however if he does your not wrong...sad state of affairs.

It'll be easier for the Eel Bounty Hunters to know where he's fishing, so even less likely that any of the waters he is fishing will stay quiet for long ...

I liked it
His plate looked like it was meant to read, some of these plates nowadays are like hieroglyphs, I just think why, but I guess those who buy them are happy and that's all that counts. I'm guessing I fell lucky with mine.

Glad a few others are thinking this too. I know there arent that many specialised Eel anglers out there (in comparison to other species) but I'm guessing there are enough to make 'special' waters very busy. I'm also guessing by releasing the film he knew it'd attract 'attention'.

The globetrotting angler Tony Davies Patrick wrote about fishing for large Eels in New Zeeland too in one of his books. These were all in running water and not in lakes like in the UK. Very interesting read, but then again all of his stuff is ...

I remember the times or mail did a feature on New Zealand or Australia and they go over 50lb plus there (different species but still freshwater and impressive)and they had one in a cage and a guy went to take it out of the cage and they told me to be careful in case it tries to attack,also I read that they used to have BBQ’s on boats and cut all the food like fish up at side of the big lakes and all the guts leftovers etc went in the edge by the moored up boats,and they used to use terrapin or turtle meat as bait as well.
