eels during the day
I went out yesterday on a boat people on here said to bring eels and the guy at the bait store said eels work during the day how do you fish them the same way as at night I couldnt get anything to touch them!! had nothing to show for 8 hours out there except a nice sun burn on the face it was an awsome day though.

From a boat I use a 3 way, short fluro leader with an 6oz - 8 oz sinker depending on current, and longer fluro leader for eel. Just keep bouncing that eel of the bottom. Sinker fluro = 20lb, fluro for eel = 50lb. When surfasting, just sling the eels out there pref. in moving water, no 3 way and no sinker.

Why use flouro for the sinker loop? Sounds like a big waste of $$ to me. |

never had an eel that didn't catch a BASS 24/7 from a boat..perhaps what you were marking weren't bass but bait.

BOAT fish do count.

I've caught some decent bass on eels during the day. I fished them once from a jetty on Block during late morning. I'd watch cow stripers work along the edge of the jetty. I ended up vertical jigging some eels for them.

get them deep. this time of year there probably all 13,18,24" fish. though. might be better off with a diamond jig or shad if your right on top of a big school.

I fish them with an egg sinker above a 3 foot mono leader on a circle hook. Drop them to the bottom, pay out line as needed to keep them down.
Problem is dogfish LOVE eels so even when I have landed a couple of bass it is only a matter of time before the dogs show and its all over...
