I use an old Igloo cooler with about 10 gallons of water and 2 aerators. It will keep about 18 eels alive for weeks. Have to change the water every couple of days especially if you feed them.

BTW, I found dried shimp krill at Wallyworld for food. Feed the snakes once a week. I have about 6 or 7 eels that have been in the tank since May 29th. Started with 2 dozen and take about 6 to 8 out for a ride to the beach every night. I put back whatever is left from the nights fishing.

I have an old plastic mayonnaise jar I hang off my wader belt for carying the eels. Put the eels in and a good hand full of ice cubes. I use a piece of old burlap to take one out and put on the hook. Works great as you are self contained and mobile. Drill lots of holes in the bottom of the jar so the eels drain.

No boat, back in the suds.
