I notice you guys are in Warren, RI and recall the trips to visit with BOB BRYDEN way back in the olden days. He was on the road alongside the Police Station, up the River a ways. Had only one leg but he was as swift around a skiff as most guys with two. Always talked about his days out "Coon" hunting, chasing through the woods at night!!!!
We would call ahead and pick up 300 or more 20 to 24 inch 'starved,thin' silver bellied and also 50 or so big eels, 36 inch size, fat as a Danny Plug.
We used them for Skin Plugs and I always towed a big eel when out swordfishing.
The old story was, "Big Bait, Big Fish" and that holds true!!!!
Bob would be over a hundred if alive but he did have a nephew that I think took over from him.
When Herring are around the Blue side out short skin works well. Don't try a big dark side out full length skin plug in the doldrums, you might catch a monster bass!
