After years of fishing live eels, at the end of last year I started just fishing dead ones much of the time. This is fishing in water less than 10' with little current. Drown them when I first get them and put them in freezer bags and freeze them. Hook them in the normal live eel way and fish them slow but adding some movement. Had a very good fall season so I going to continue with this. Makes carrying and hooking easier and faster, especially when standing in rough water. Just re-freeze the ones you don't use.
