I'm from the UK and live in Fiji ...Great post!<br /><br />I'm from the UK and live in Fiji at the moment. The other night I was eating a meal by a local lake full of tilapia and saw a number of very large eels (4 foot long and thick as my arms) attacking the small fish on the top. I have my carp rods from the UK with me and fancy a crack at these beasts. Question is - how do you reckon I should tackle for them? The lake is 30 m and 30 m deep (!). I've seen these eels on the top, but should I fish on the bottom, using a float, or even try a plug? Thanks for any advice.
