I absolutely crank my eels out there in every effort to reach that outter bar. It cast so hard it makes a giant "wooooshing" sound that you can hear from down the beach. I very rarely loose eels ch#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&' 'em hard. Most of the time the reason I loose an eels is after I have caught so many fish on it that its head looks like I mashed it with a hammer so that I have to hook it in the arse. Or after I spend time edging my way out onto a bar so that it is a long walk back in, then I always seem to cast it off on the first cast.

At night, I would say I am casting it at LEAST 200 YDS. But then the sun comes up and the effects of the sun's gravitational pull seems to reduce my cast to about 50 feet.
