I know , no argument, just trying to help and explain, its really not rocket sceince but like I said I do think there are combinations of things that make one guy stand out with any method and sometimes there so simple there stupid. But please I am really not arguing I am just passionate about fishing eels and I am convinced its why I have some of the catches I have.
I know lately plugs are the in thing, I have no problem with that but, I do see people struggle and while they catch sometimes there is a period especially in rhode island where as steve has said and I agree "you can toss a plug till the paint comes off and not catch a decent fish" In rhode island thats from the time the herring dry up until the fall, sure you will catch now and then, mostly dinks but if anyone wants a good fish the eel cannot and will never be beat in my opinion.and to do it right there is certainly a skill involved without a doubt
