How to get eels past bluefish.

[ilovetwofish]

I fish 2 times A week in my yak drifting eels I do pretty good at night or early morning. Here is the problem the bluefish move in and my 25$ in eels are gone real fast. The water is anywere from 10 to 40 feet deep should I put on a heavy sinker to get past those eel robbers if so how should I rig it up, or should i move to another spot to get away from them or something else. Any suggestions please.
