I will continue to use them but I'm in favor of tighter regs on their capture and use.

i will continue to use them i think if we were more careful with them it would make a diffrence like iam going to have a live well this year any eels that i dont use that nite will go in the live well till i need them again.if we buy only what we need that would help.and you dont need a fresh eel after catching a fish ive caught 3 bass on the same eel i just re hook it. and iam going to rigg my dead eels this year and freeze them.tighter regs.snake slinger

I hope SOME people figure out its a good idea to take the dead ones home and save the skins for plugs/jigs.

Throwing away bait/eels is a waste.

I am not a big eel user but I may use them maybe twice a year
This year I bought the Tsunami halo eels to rig and try out.
