the fish may have just been up near the surface (where the sluggo is) and not the bottom (where the eel is)
the other night I was fishing point with eels with no luck. I kept wading out further and further with the tide with no results. then I saw a bass tailing about 5 yards from me. I cast the eel past him and brought it in on top - he took it. Got about 5 more bass, up to about 20 lbs, fishing the eel on top. Threw in a few traditional eel presentations with no luck during the time I was getting em on top. just goes to show that you never know.
By the way, I'm a big fan of sluggos and probably would have put one on out there to see what happened but I was out to deep to get at my belt bag.
