Second the small cooler with an ice pack. Put damp newspaper in the bottom and wrap the ice pack with damp newspaper. Put the eels in the cooler a few hours before you start fishing. This way they will seem almost dead but once they hit the water they wake up.
If you buy the right cooler bag it will have a pocket in the front for terminal tackle and the top will open so you can store 6 or so plugs in it.
