Help!- Eels on South Shore or Even North Shore Area

I need some eels badly and fast. My usual stop is hurting for size. I even called M&D's but didn't get an answer. I imagine they are closing earlier as we get further along into the season. Hoping for at least 3 dozen but I guess I'll take what I can get. If anyone can point me in the right direction it would be appreciated. PM's are fine.

Help!

Sounds like a Craigslist personal add.

Try Maco's in Buzzards bay.

Mikes closed on Mondays. Closes on the 12th for the season- hunting season that is.

Found out I have angler229 to blame. He's been buying up all my eels. LOL

I got a dozen that will hopefully be usable for tonight. Have not checked to see what the wind looks like yet.

Treachery is everywhere....

Last week I went into my usual eel supplier and he informed me a gent had just left with 40 large eels, leaving me with only a few tiny ones. When I inquired as to whether the perp had been in there before, the shop owner told me the guy didn't own a fishing rod and had purchased the eels for a big fish dinner he was preparing...

Upon hearing this I gave him a description of Numbskull, but to no avail, it wasn't him...

Speaking of eels, here is an incorrigible eel murderer popping a hernia because he tried a plug (actually a teaser but it's all good). Either that or he is about to do the unspeakable with that animal.

Boat Shop in Marblehead has them. Not huge, but decent size. Is everyone selling them by the pound? I haven't bought any this year, so didn't know that was how they were sold by the suppliers to the shops now. Local shop owner said the big eels could cost 8 bucks a piece!!! Wow....
