As far as what makes YOU happy when fishing,that is also none of my business.Catching fish is not a matter of pride to me,only satisfaction,regardless of method.I have to say it is MY experience that eels provide more opportunities for BIG fish and a host of others seem to agree. Certainly,as I and others have stated already plugs can also yield impressive results so please get your danderuff down. As I type this I am making plans to go to Westport in my modest tin boat and plug this evening like the rest of the charlatan's. And I am hoping for a cow regardless.
People like yourself who consider themselves purists because of their preference in styles will continue to amuse me with their lack of respect for others accomplishments based solely on plugs vs. bait or shore vs. boat. Cosider yourself fortunate you are able to invest the time necessary to become a prolific angler with plugs but to show distain for those who use other tactics seems petty.I suggest a healthy respect for your fellow angler based entirely on your love of the sport. Something that we ALL seem to share.
Chris, I think you have made an excellent point and should be applauded for your honesty and convictions of sticking with what you believe.

No boat, back in the suds.
