If you want Greg to investigate then you certainly need to provide details of the venue and some actual facts. So far all we've had is hearsay, innuendo and speculation. It may simply be Chinese whispers for all we know.
Regarding eel fishing in the Severn Trent area the old rule which probably still applies for eel fishing was a hook with a minimum gape of half and inch and the method had to be legering.
If anglers boycott the fishery, what purpose will it serve? Will that prevent the alleged fish killers from returning? Will it be any kind of deterent? Or will it simply give the killers free reign to do what they want.
This is akin to a lynch mob. No facts, no evidence but they're bloody foreigners so let's hang them anyway and send the fishery owner to jail 'cos he's a bloody collaborator....
I think we need a bit of flesh on the bones before this turns into any kind of witch hunt. To use your own words, 'I don't have any proof, but...'
Perhaps a little caution is in order.
