After spending 10 minutes trying to read the thread posted by luds

I figured I'd share. Something to do on a hot night with a few cold beers.
Get a $15 minnow trap and toss a stabbed up bunker in it. Then find some brackish water with a muddy bottom. Toss the trap out or drop it off a dock or bridge. I am usually in about 3 feet of water. Drink a beer or 2 and let the trap soak. Then take a small rod with a double hooked scup rig and bait it with squid or sandworm pieces. Drop right on the side of the minnow trap and catch yourself a bunch of choice eels. If you don't have a trap you can use an onion bag or something similar. You will catch 95% of the eels on the rod and not in the small trap anyway. Also bring a towel and not just a rag because when a 3ft snake comes out of the 80 degree water it can be hell. They will wrap your whole arm up to your arm-pit and slime the crap out of you. So easy a cave man can do it
