Thank you all for your advices!

Hi SB Friends:

I thank you all for the advices.

I probably will only go boat finhing at sea, when I have at least a
16' run-about boat. But this is not going to happend for several years.

Nevertheless, I have a good time last night at ocean front of PI. I caught 10 SBs within 2 hrs. The biggest one is around 30" and the remaining are around 24". As usual, all of them will caught on herring. I did try eel, but I lost it by setting the hook too fast !
After that hit, I slowly presented my eel again, but lost the whole eel without feeling any hit on the other end. I guess, I should not use any sinker. My tackle set up is below:

a. Circle hook (6/0)
b. 36" and 40 Lb leader
c. fish finder with 3 oz bank sinker

I reel the eel very slow but no hit except one big pull which triger my in-mature set hook. I present my eel in an area where I caught 10 fish there by herring chunk in every of my cast during that period of time.

Sincerely Yours,

Ching-Wei Liao
