Just last week on MV in Lobsterville area, took a buddy of mine who is a complete novice with three other friends who have been out with me at night. He won't eat or even touch the fish but he wanted to be out with the guys. He brings a chair out. I rigg an eel on a 7' tica and toss it out. I bring rod up to his chair and stick it into a rod holder and tell him to reel it in if it starts moving. One friend gets a small schoolie and a small blue on a small needle. Within minutes, while the rest of us are preparing to throw or are throwing plugs, his rod starts diving down. He asks "What do i do?". I tell him to first get out of the damn chair and reel it in. He does and the fight is on. He pulls in a 35", 15 pounder. I land it for him and we all have a great meal. The kicker is that two of my regular MV vacation fishing buddies have been going there for 15 years and have yet to catch a keeper, and one has never had even a schoolie. They instantly switch over to eels and nothing the rest of the night. The ribbing still hasn't ended.
