eel question

[MakoMike]

If they were bait sized eels that you found in that fish's gut, they were probably resident males. Females all go upstream for years and when they start dropping out of the rivers to meet the males they are very big, usually we;; over 2 feet long and very silvery in color. Tha mature males are also silver, but they tend to be much smaller than the females.

The sarragasso sea is an area of the Atlantic south of Bermuda.

don't know when but Bermuda is in the middle of it. I beleive it is defined by currents and is about 1000 miles by 2000 miles

[MakoMike]

Its really not well defined. Its an area where the ocanic currents collect all sorts of floating objects, but mostly the Saragassum weed, which gives the area its name. The are moves with the movements of the currents, sometimes Bermuda is right in the middle of it and sometime Bermuda is on the Northern edge of it. On some of the old charts its also called the "doldrums."
