I've seen freshly raked sandeels outfish 24-hour old eels 5 to 1 or better. When there's a lot of bait around, the big bass won't touch an old sand eel.
For me, it's worth the time and effort. Eel rake? Never leave home without it.
Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.
