years ago I had an idea to drift an eel WAAAY out the end of a breachway... sure, you can just drift it the old fashioned way, but I wanted it wayyyy out. So I thought of blowing up a balloon, and tying it to my swivel. Then take a piece of tape, stick it on the balloon, and make a tiny pin hole. Toss it into the outflow, and let the current take the balloon way out as your eel is suspended off the bottom... the air will take a few minutes to deflate through the pinhole, and the eel will eventually sink to the bottom and you can now slowly retrieve it a few hundred yards. Does it work? I dont know. never tried it... I just said I thought of it once... but I bet it works...
