Eel pot

[Rockfish9]

Brackish water...low tide...seek out deeper areas close to sbore.rocks or pilings help..best bet to set an hour before slack on the drop..
drop...eels spread out on riding water...easier to trap on llow water...good tides next week. ..I can get 100 in a single set (comercial license))

Back in the early 80's I had access to the floats way up inside the north river and I routinely filled those traps with some very large snakes.

Sadly...like all fisheries ..eels are on the decline....unlike 1972 when I began potting eels when I sold both meat and bait eels and anything less than a stuffed pot was a bad set...now...I am only interested in bait eels 12" to 18" ..the rest get "rail dumped"..average set now is 12 to 20 "keepers "....and for the record...I'm not seeing a large number of large yellow eels..All that said. ..good full moon sets this time of year can yield 100 keepers...
