Boy, if you guys didn't catch Steve's presentation on Rigged Eels last night at the Newport County Saltwater Fishing Club meeting, you really missed it.
Excellent job by Steve on both the show and demo afterwards. Seeing him rig first-hand during the demo was great. Whether you're a noob or a grizzled old veteran - or just grizzled, like me - it was a night well-spent. I don't think there was one aspect he didn't cover in depth, from rigging to fishing 'em.
I know it's a killer method but I always took the lazy man's way out using an eel-squid or lately a Pt Jude Wobblehead - which is another extremely effective way to fish dead eels if you don't have the time to rig. Now I'll have another weapon in my bag.
I think the happiest guy in the place was the 12 year old son of one of our members who took detailed notes throughout the whole talk - and then Steve gave him the riggie he just finished after the demo. The little guy asked Steve to sign the Zip-loc for him, too...
That was pretty cool - that young man will make a name for himself one day -
Thanks again, Steve - good job!
