eels during the day

[mrmacey]

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.
