1. Eels are carnivorous fish, and they love the carcasses of animals. The fishy smell can attract a large number of eels. The bait can be mixed with smelly animal blood with rice and dried in the sun. Other baits include: black earthworm, red earthworm, shrimp meat, animal liver, etc.

2. When fishing eels, you can choose dusk, cast a pole at night, and fish until about 11 o'clock at night.

Other requirements for fishing eels:

1. The hook should be large. In cold weather, the eel's mouth is wide open and swallowed to the stomach. The hook is small and easy to be swallowed by the eel, so it is not suitable to pull out and it is difficult to remove the hook.

2. When the eel is hooked and floats and sinks, it should be lifted immediately, and it needs to be lifted once, otherwise it will easily break the line and break the hook.

3. When the eel comes out of the water, it will shrink into a ball, and it is easy to stretch the line and hook, which will lead to the break of the line and escape. It is necessary to put the eel into a bucket with water immediately, and the eel can be unhooked when it opens its body.
