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...
