eel tank

yep, too the stripers...

I think if you keep them too long without some kind of food they start to maul each other... must be someting to use...

I've read somewhere you can use rosy reds for food. some kind of small goldfish type feeders for aquariums. I suppose you can get them at a pet store.

What about cat or dog food?

Purina eel chow.
I don't know if you can get them, but the best eel bait for a trap are dead horseshoe crabs.

I'm stepping all over romantic Horseshoe crabs in and around the Breachway!

i heard horseshoe crabs are the way to go....hmmmmm maybe i'll take a little trip ;)

Make those crabs female, it's the largest of the two.

these are what we use to get the eels into the traps.

eel's love the egg's.

just split the crab in half, the eel's will do the rest.

Waterford, if you go to C'town B'way, park at the boat launch and walk twords the pond. With a small boat/canoe you'll get alot more. There all over the channel.
