Take the rigged eel and rub its underside and sides agains a rock. This should end up looking like you have scratches that barely bleed. the dead eels obviously will not bleed but something oozes out and helps . The blue irridescence you see on the inside of their skins when you skin them starts just blow their natural darker outside skin.
Don't overdo it as you may want to do it several times to the same eel on several different days as they do last a long time if no bluefish get ahold of them. Don't rough up the whole skin the first time. Save some areas for the next time.
