Congrats Jim... It's always a good day when everyone on the boat gets in on the action...
Couple recommendations - use circle hooks on all chunked bait, especially with sweet clam bellies, to reduce the chance of gut hooking a bass...
Eels at night are great - if you are drifting out of the mouth or trolling along in that deep water just outside, use 1/2 - 3/4 ounce rubber core sinkers a few feet up the leader from the eels. This will help you get down deeper in that current where the big fish reside. Start with the 1/2 ounce and then move up if neeeded. You want to get down near the bottom with out snagging (which can be tough when that current is really cranking)....
