Ice footage but can’t get to meat and can’t really tell what attracts them the most as to close together to be fair test , but your footage is awsome

Fantastic footage. Good to see species from every level of the food chain, obviously a healthy ecosystem. Keep up the good work.

Nice test, thanks! :-)

Hi jack great footage is there any chance you could distance the pots so would give a better indication to which they prefer. Was a good watch cheers mate.

[@Enpassantful]

2 feeders right next to each other means you won’t have a clue which one is attracting the fish. 😃

Really enjoyed that Jack!

Superb footage. I suppose it gives an idea about natural leakage of the two feeders and the response of the various species. If the meat had been passed through a mesh to give smaller pellet sized pieces then scent given off could be stronger. I was surprised the Eel didn't have a go as we are led to believe they scavenge for food. Nice bit of filming. V

I was surprised how persistent the eel was try to get to the pellets.

I was just coming to say this. They looked more interested in them than the meat. I don’t think Iv ever had them on pellets but was speaking to someone the other day who had had 2 that day on pellet. I mainly fish with meat and can’t get away from the bloody eels. Roll on the end of September when the eels disappear and can catch some big barbel.

Dude!! Again. The fish can get to the pellets but not the meat lol

[@Chasingscalesspecieshunt]

the idea isn't that they get to it, its so they are attracted . if the fish can get to the bait it will be gone in a matter of minutes
