glass eels
 

Saw a bunch of glass eels up here in nh last night which is weird because i never saw them in mass this year just peanut bunker. no fish crashin them tho. did anyone see the glass eels in mass?

glass eels?

never heard of em.


sand eels, yeah, there all over the place.

these are different eels also known as elvers. some years i see them some years i don't depends on the storms i think. its just odd that i saw them in nh and not mass.

elvers are baby eels

Elvers have left the building...


I did not make those eels :cool:

:rotf2::rotf2::rotf2:

spring =exact same time as the buckies //////////////;)

There is - or at least used to be - a big Asian market for live elvers.

The esteemed Irish marine biologist Professor O'Nitis tells me it's because glass eels can be taught to eat fish pellets whereas adults cannot.

Eel aquaculture - there's an intriguing concept - especially given the price of them lately. Too bad you can't get 'em to breed too.

God knows I've tried - you know, pour a little wine into my eel tank for 'em, a little soft romantic music......no luck yet. :p

Theres also a big market for elver impersonaters in Las Vegas. :smokin:

Bryan and I are fishing tonight. you want to come along?

Any luck in NH so far Harry?

One for the money, two for the show.....

:crying: maybe next fall:(

eben would love too go fishing but he has an elver at home to take care of
