Eel trap

We found best bait to be a horseshoe crab with eggs, but haven't seen many a one in years. Otherwise, cracked clams, mussels or cracked green crabs. Fish bait tend to attract crabs, but as said, they also make ok bait. Leave 'em cracked so eels have to work at them (ie., stay in trap) to feed otherwise they can get back out.
