When I fish eels, it is almost always from a boat. But with Cuttyhunk trip approaching I was giving thought to trying something new for the lower (or upper) half of the tide. The rocks and weed present some challenge for that last 10-15 yards of retrieve. So what if I used a casting egg, with a 4' leader to a live eel? My hope is to have the eel out beyond the junk, fishing longer, and that the egg will help bring the eel up through those last 10 yards more easily....
