When I'm out during the summer, I sometimes have an eel dragging behind my boat. I'll be up front running the trolling motor, while fishing my rubber in 12-30 foot of water around ledges. I run 30# spiderwire, to a barrel swivel, 30# seagar leader and a good size circle hook, no weight just slowly moving forward with the trolling motor. I like the circle hook as it gives me some time to get to the back of the boat and then I just tighten up and fight the fish. If I were drifting, it would be the same deal, but I'd move closer to shore and work over rock kelp beds in 15-20 foot and use the trolling motor just to maintain boat attitude.
