If you want to know more about the infamous eelpout then read on.
The ling or “eelpout” is without a doubt a disgusting, repulsive, annoying, slimy, smelly and unattractive fish in the sea.

Fishing with live bait is usually more productive than fishing with lures. Not always as there are times lures will outfish live bait but live bait is always good. There are many myths that surround using live bait instead of artificial fishing lures and most of them are not true. Live bait is still used by many anglers.
