Sand eels are fished "dead" because you can't keep them alive. They are typically raked out of the sand using an "eel rake" that has sharp tines that puncture their bodies. However, it is key to keep them as fresh as possible for use as bait.

	Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
