I disagree, fishing an eel is an art. You can't just cast it out blindly reel it in and expect to catch fish. You have to work the water column, change the speed of your retrieve to keep the eel out of the rocks, and make sure you have constant contact with your eel. Most nights the bass want the eel as slow as possible but some nights I have seen the bass want the eels almost skimming across the surface. YOu have to adapt your eel for the water conditions. Wind strong in your face cut the eel in half or stuff a egg weight down its throat. How much weight do you use? What hook will present the eel in the most natural way? I think that claiming fishing eels is idiot fishing is completely false. Many nights I have been standing next to redlite, both fishing eels, and he is completely out fishing me.
