if your talking about a specific set of conditions inwhich you've fished many times and only eels have done the job (which I'm assuming is the case since you have a particular spot and tide planned out), it probably is best to just stay home - especially on a work night. i've always found that heading out without confidence is usually just a waste of gas. the focus isn't there, you just think about what you should be doing, rather than what you are doing, and its just a waste. save your energy and gas money for a trip you'll be confident in. i don't have any canal experience, but the moon wouldn't have helped my plugging confidence last night either.

i really enjoy fishing plugs, but there are times and places where only an eel or riggie will do - especially if focused on a trophy. and your definately right on about the whole eel/plug story.
