The #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& returns having his eel taken by no less than 8 striped bass this fine foggy evening!

As I have said before, I let the fish run because it is what I have always done and the way I learned, I do not want my next 40 hooked in the lip sorry, just me. I want it in his throat! the last thing I want to see is that hook in a hole in the lips the size of a half dollar Yup that may be old school but thats me the deeper the better

Now go out and stick some bass!!

Give em what they want

OK

I think the problem is I am letting the eel sit too long...not reeling in slowly the whole time after a cast.

Also saw suggestions of throwing them at rocks - I've been mostly drifting/reeling them on Joppa Flats. I assume that should work too (right).

Whack or not to whack....that is the question. Sounds like both will work.

I'll try both methods next time out.

Thanks again for the help (and laughs!)

Drifting eels works great just keep in touch with your line, also, in a deep water drift use a rubber core sinker...........

I like the picture of the fish inside the house

Also you guys whack the tail end of the eel , I always whacked the head portion this is an interresting techinique for me to try

I caught my biggest fish the other night on an eel that had the back 1/4 taken off by a blue. I said screw it and threw it back out, got a hit almost right away.
I also caught numerous fish on an eel with it's head barely on by a thread from all the fish caught on it.
