heard the sad news today that you can wash your eelrag,and redesignate it as a crying towel in ri not confirmed,but i got it from a very reliable source,no eels or buckies this year $100.00 a fish fine if caught with either species for bait.like i said,not confirmed yet,but the source is oretty high up in the ri dem.

Hi Joe, I bought one of those recently, should they be fished like eels or faster? The dogfish seemed to like them this year off of chatham.

Kip, just fish them like you would a live eel nice and slow. If you want a more excited action reel a little faster.They can also be trolled at slow speed from a boat or kayak with deadly rersults.
It looks like they won't make any drastic changes till the end of next season .Maybe they will not ban eels totally and just make a size limit for the dealers , I don't think a number limit would do much good because people would just stockpile them in tanks at home .

Chef..Not going to happen next season, go read the stuff on the Atlantic marine fisheries site..And even if it does there are plenty of ways to fool a bass. The the europeon eel which is only slightly different works well and those you will always be able to get.....Most shops I know will sell those. They look just like the american eel only the head is a bit larger , they work just good.

I got about 50 rigged eels stashed away in brine, will there be a "grandfather clause" for them?
