Bored????
There is ice fishing.
Try taking up plug making ( I know it ain't like eels but catching on your own stuff is kind of fun and rewarding)
Or..... back in 98' I went 22 months stright here on 'ol Cape Cod catching bass ( not big ones mind you in the winter months) it was lonely most times and very cold in January, February and March but Stifftip will tell you I took him one day In February to a local Cape Cod Bay harbor situated at the Mid Cape area and though it was 26 degrees, spitting snow and blowing 20 from the N/west he took a 26 inch fish on his first cast. The shellfish warden was there when we arrived at the landing to suit up to go out and he asked us for our shellfish licenses as he thought we were going clamming when he saw the fishing rods he said "do you two know what time of year this is"?
If you know where to go you can catch from Truro to sandwich year round ( btw the way the biggest winter bass I took in those 22 months was 33 inches long in a local creek) we took fish in the dark in January in one southside creek as well as soon as it would get light they shut off and it was in the 20's temperature wise and you had to slide down ice covered embankments.
I gove up the crusade at 22 months because my waders had a rim of ice around my waist and my guides were completely frozen, sh!t like that happens when striper fishing in 19 degree temps. I had had enough but proved it is possible!
There is no reason to be bored.
