Are you referring to "live eels" (american eels), or sand eels?

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

Okay..can't really help you there since I buy my eels by the pound in keep them in an aerator. But I think many rivers in Mass and RI have eel populations. Maybe #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& would know better.

any tidal river will have eels as do many freshwater ponds thaty are fed from tidal rivers, all the salt ponds have eels etc.. very easy to catch, get an eel pot toss in any fish carcass, lobster carcass, anything like that, cat food, dog foos etc... and toss it in the drink, it will have eels in it the next day.
