I have always done good trolling eels, even in the daytime in my tin boat. I use 30 lb big game and a 4' fluro leader. No weight. I let out 2 or 300 feet of line and troll very slow with a 15 hp motor. I lay the rodtip on the gunnel and the butt in my hand and drive. I fish grass patches in 10 to 20 ft depths. I started doing this because the eels would go into the grass and hide if I drifted. This way they stay in the upper water column. Don't believe the people that say you can't catch fish in the bright sun with eels either. I usually only fish this way in daylight. Good luck. Paul
