Dulis, there are many other baits you can use, that's just the best one I found (most specific for this fish). For the quest to unlock the new area, you only need a few european eels anyway.
Sorry if my advice wasn't helpful

Fish eye bait, medium hook, at bottom, abandoned pond, at night (only 3 fish can be caught this way). You'll get a lot of lobster (astacus or whatever it's called) but you'll get the eels eventually
Dulis1315 you do not need fish eye to catch European Eel's as you will see from my video which shows you which other bait you can catch them on... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhPALDYBIjk&t=6s Good luck and I hope this helps you catch them. As you will see I have many other videos for gold quest fish too.
