I have drifted them around West Gut and Nut Island, three way them with 3oz lead. Drop them to the bottom, when the weight hits the bottom reel up a couple of cranks to keep the weight from snagging. Hold the rod tip up at 45 degrees. When you feel a tap-tap, drop the tip to the water line (this gives some slack allowing the striper to suck the eel in) count to 5 set the hook and if all goes well game on.
