If they are feeding 6 hours after it gets dark, I think that means they are night feeding! I only normally gave it 2 or 3 hours after dark but did try the odd longer session but it wasn't overly productive. Fishing on the Somerset Drains, eels used to drive you mad and the experiment was dropped. Agree about the sentiment of being alert, alarms on and close to hand ensure that all runs are registered immediately and struck in good time.

Lost one to the roots on the island gggrrr still time still having liners so the hot vitamin is working 🤞🤞🎣
