Fishing eels from a boat
See previous post on fishing with eels.
We use a fish finder on the main line. Use a rubberband to connect the sinker to the fish finder. 3' to 4' fluro leader. Normally 40 to 50# leader in case a passing blue decides to eat it. Circle hook. We go from bottom up with the hook. Through the bottom jaw and out an eye socket. If you follow the direction in previous post about keeping them in a cooler, normally the are sedated enough to get them hooked and in the water. The fishfinder rig with only the rubberband and sinker gives the eel little to get tangled in.
This has worked very well for us. Hope it works for you. Good Luck!
