Dave I can try to answer a few of those. The cheapest place I have found them is Tom's in Middleboro. If you have a commercial license you can buy them by the pound. Years past it was a dozen for 10 bucks. Who knows this year. As far as knotting up get them in the water as soon as you stick them and and if they are cold, iced down, they are not as lively till they hit the water. I don't belive in smashing them up against a rock to cripple them. I want them as lively as possible. If you fish them on the bottom with weight, something I do not do, you can try hooking them in the tail. Definitely fish them during daylight hours. I troll them in my tin boat under the sun and do very well. A lot has to do with where you are fishing though. As far as dead goes they are killer that way too. Had a bluefish rip one to shreads when I reeled it back in rear half hanging on by a thread next cast 49 lbs., from shore too. I luv eels. Paul
