2ways...
1. soft sided cooler (I use a luch bag size and keep it strapped on me)
2. Mesh eel-bag (I use a laundry garment bag) when I am somewhere I can stash it in the surf line w/a few rocks inside)
Nothing wrong w/a bucket. except you have to carry it.

a mesh bag tucked into your belt, if you don't mind eel slime on your rain jacket. if you do mind the slime, a plastic mayo jar with a piece of rope on it tucked into your belt also works. I like to be self contained and carry everything on my person, and the only thing I have to carry is my stick-mobility means not having to walk back to where you put your plug bag and bucket every time you need a fresh eel or want to move 50 feet down the rocks or beach

I have used the plastic mayo jar for about 10 years now. Got a rope loop with one of those clips (I forget what they are called) on the loop. I just clip it on my wader belt and I am mobile. A few ice cubes in the jar keep the eels sleeping.  |

soft sided cooler w/ a strap.
If you go the mesh bag route, make sure you dunk your eels everynow and then or they will dry out and die..

Mesh laundry bag that I stole from Wife  I think she used it for her Victoria Secret stuff, and I dont think she'd want it back now knowing what was in there. |

ive been bagging them seperately in ziplocks, then put them in another 1gal one. then put them in the jig/tin pouch on my skinz bag. i dont like mesh bags, their always getting hooks in them. its basically impossible to get the hook out of those things.
pull out small ziplock with one eel, hook through the bag, rip the eel through plastic, put ripped bag back into the big one. done. it took some getting used to to do this fast, but im good now.
this is best if your actually in the water. if your bag isnt in the water the eels might get too hot and die.
