After years of fishing live eels, at the end of last year I started just fishing dead ones much of the time. This is fishing in water less than 10' with little current. Drown them when I first get them and put them in freezer bags and freeze them. Hook them in the normal live eel way and fish them slow but adding some movement. Had a very good fall season so I going to continue with this. Makes carrying and hooking easier and faster, especially when standing in rough water. Just re-freeze the ones you don't use.
Mike,
You stumbled upon the secret of Morto Anguilla! Good for you to figure it out.

I get the dinks and Blues out of my system early when they first show up then just concentrate on big fish. I put away the light tackle all together and dont even bring it with me when I head south. BIG GUNS+BIG PLUGS+VAMPIRE MODE=BIG BASS.

Continuing my exploration of deeper water and jigging rubber on 2-4oz jig heads. Going to focus more on black sea bass this year and fluke during the season, love to get a freezer full of blackie's this year.
