Eel fishing at Angelplatz.de: Everything you need to know

The eel: a fascinating fish

The eel is a particularly exciting fish for many anglers. With its snake-like body and impressive migrations between fresh and salt water, it fascinates not only biologists but also anglers worldwide. At Angelplatz.de you will find everything you need for successful eel fishing.

The best times and places for eel fishing

Eels are nocturnal fish, which is why the best times to catch them are at dusk and at night. The months from May to September are considered to be particularly promising. Preferred fishing spots are rivers, canals and lakes with slow-flowing or stagnant water. The areas where rivers flow into the sea are also good places for eel fishing.

Equipment for eel fishing

At Angelplatz.de we offer you a wide selection of special equipment for eel fishing:

Eel rods: These rods are particularly robust and flexible in order to easily cope with the strong resistance of the eels.

Eel rolls: Reels with a high line capacity and reliable brakes are ideal for safely landing even large eels.

cords: Sturdy monofilament or braided lines with a high breaking strength are essential, as eels often live in terrain with many obstacles.

Hooks and leaders: Special eel hooks and robust leaders minimize the risk of the fish breaking free.

Bait and techniques

Eels are best caught with natural bait. At Angelplatz.de you will find a variety of suitable baits:

worms: Earthworms and dung worms are classic eel baits.

Small fish: Bait fish such as roach or rudd are also very effective.

Crab and fish pieces: These are particularly attractive to larger eels.

The bottom fishing method has proven itself in eel fishing. The bait is brought to the bottom of the water and presented there. Another successful technique is float fishing near the bank, especially in the evening hours.

Eel fishing and nature conservation

Nature conservation plays an important role in eel fishing. The European eel is highly endangered, which is why responsible fishing and compliance with closed seasons and catch limits are of great importance. At Angelplatz.de, we attach great importance to providing you with comprehensive information about sustainable fishing.

Tips and tricks for successful eel fishing

Know locations: Eels prefer hiding places such as eroded banks, roots and piles of stones. Look specifically for such places.

have patience: Eels are cautious fish. Give the eel time to take the bait before you set the hook.

Be quiet: Avoid noise and unnecessary movements so as not to scare the shy eels.
