I like a lively eel, at least to start. Cast and retreive slowly. The first cast i usually bring them in a bit quicker to avoid an eel ball then after that they relax and i reel them in slowly. Painfully slow, enough to keep tension on the line. There are times that a dead eel will work just fine, but my preferance is always alive and kicking. When i cast them out the depth of water plays a role in when i start the retreive, they usually head right to the bottom. So letting them swim for a bit in deeper water will get them down. There are a million threads on how to fish an eel. Thats pretty much what i do when i hook one on.
