Try a 1 gallon bucket from a paint store or if you know someone that works at a restaurant, have them save you a 1 gallon salad dressing or mayonaise jug. You can attatch a rope to the dressing jug and put it over your shoulder. If you adjust the rope correctly, you won't even notice it's there. put a small hole at the top of the bucket to let water out. If you put too many holes in the bucket, on a windy day the eels will dry out and die if you don't continue to dunk them. Also, with a lot of holes, if you wade deep it will fill up with water when a wave comes in, and empty as the wave receeds. If the waves are strong enough, it can knock you down or at least throw off your balance. Also, I feel it helps to spray paint the bucket black. I spray both the inside and the outside. The inside keeps the eels dark, and the outside keeps you from standing out as much.
