I remember someone explaining to me at one time that bass actually go after eels out of more of a natural defense as eels eat a lot of the stripers' eggs up in the marshes, or something to that effect. They are natural enemies. Not sure of the scientific validity of it, but they sure do seem to eat a lot of my eels. I'm sure Fisheye or any other divers may be able to provide some insight, but I can never remember seeing an eel swimming out on the backside of the cape in the wide open sandy bottoms. There is little of any type of protective cover that they are usually found in, i.e rocks, weeds (well, beseides the dreaded mung).
I was telling my pops today about Fisheye's video (and foaming at the mouth the whole time) about how the fish seemed to hang in that spot with no visibale presence of food. So many times we have opened up fish to find their bellies completely empty, other times they have a smorgasboard of stuff in their bellies. Odd I guess.
