how do you guys carry eels? - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

a mesh bag tucked into your belt, if you don't mind eel slime on your rain jacket. if you do mind the slime, a plastic mayo jar with a piece of rope on it tucked into your belt also works. I like to be self contained and carry everything on my person, and the only thing I have to carry is my stick-mobility means not having to walk back to where you put your plug bag and bucket every time you need a fresh eel or want to move 50 feet down the rocks or beach

I have used the plastic mayo jar for about 10 years now. Got a rope loop with one of those clips (I forget what they are called) on the loop. I just clip it on my wader belt and I am mobile. A few ice cubes in the jar keep the eels sleeping.

When did you stop putting them in your pants?

soft sided cooler w/ a strap.
If you go the mesh bag route, make sure you dunk your eels everynow and then or they will dry out and die..
