Are Rhode Island fish lazy and spoiled? I don't know, don't fish RI anymore, but Fisher's Island fish love big plugs still, at least the last couple trips down there this year.

Eels are easy maybe you guys need to learn how to fish plugs again, maybe you forgot how! Just kidding Steve, I like plugs is all but I will vehemently argue that eels make heroes out of ordinary fisherman as did Herring on the canal and live lining bunker does from a boat.
A live wiggling bait is just murder on big fish looking for a an easy meal.
