I used to have great success drifting live eels on and around the ledges between Scituate and Cohasset during the day. Then I went to plastic imitations and never looked back. But when Boston and Hingham harbors filled with bunker schools in the 80’s I loved using my trolling motor to slowly drag a live bunker around. Large gator blues around necessitated 60#wire to treble through nose and I’d run wire off that hook to a smaller treble stinger near the tail. Was fun to watch the bunker start freeking out and the anticipation of what was waking behind it made it a hoot.
