14" Is perfect size for beach fishing... maybe the factor is not length so much as it is girth?  The skinny ones always seem more lively/acrobatic... who knows... did you catch any fish  ? |

fishing striper with eels
Does anyone have further advice for fishing with eels?
Perhaps a picture of a proper hooking.
I have never tried fishing stripers with eels.
Is it best to fish eels at night vs. day?
I found a bait dealer that sells eels and now I want to give it a try.
Thanks in advance.
Jim

yeah I caught a fish on a plug and the fish had my eel sticking out of it's mouth! NOOOO I didn't catch anything because those two eels were my first two friggin' casts and that was all I brought because it as gonna be a short outing, then nothing after that with plugs and sluggos.

You should always use a circle hook with eels, unless you plan to kill all the bass you catch. If you are a true sportsfisherman, use circle hooks.

Switch to a hook with a bigger barb,, then feed the eel the hook so it comes out in the white under its chin(deep throat). do those two things and you'll rarly loose eels again.

I've never used circles and have never gut hooked a bass using eels. Tap, Tap, lower rod.....slam. Gets 'em in the lip almost every time. |

If you don't want to kill bass, don't fish for them  |
