Take a couple of 1/2 ounce egg sinkers and shove them down the snakes throat(it does not kill them) dont tell anyone you did it
cast out and slaughter the fish, watch them cast there eel and have broach the surface, be dragged all over the place and look at you with smoke coming out of there ears
Pinch on a rubber core about a foot and a half above the eel, drift out in a current, land big bass! 3/4 ounce
eels do sink but sometimes not fast enough.
On a cross rip on the beach, I have doen this at the cape. Put your egg sinker ahead of a barrel swivel and cast, then walk along with current.....deadly.........
Use a shoestring eel as a trailer on a big smilin bill jig in the gallilie chanell or any other inlet and well lets just say its incredible........best trailer in the world and it wiggles and moves!
use a heavy snap and put a ball sinker on it use a weight to get to the bottom, ahead of that about three feet attach a barrel swivel and another leader which is where you will put your eel on, just like a three way rig only fish this just as you would a jig in any breachway..Ummmmmmmm hold on
