Or everyone could completely stop using eels and give the feds the impression that there is no market for bait and they can turn over the whole quota to the food industry for export to Japan.Quite simply the answer to the Eel problem would be to wipe out the illegal poaching of elvers before they can grow to mature, spawning adults. The Japanese will give you the equipment, show you how to use it and pay $750/lb for glass eels, there`s the cause of the decline. As long as there`s a pound of eels left someone will be trying to net them out! So lets not get angry, lets just give up and all learn to rig Sluggos.
