never had an eel that didn't catch a BASS 24/7 from a boat..perhaps what you were marking weren't bass but bait.

BOAT fish do count.

I've caught some decent bass on eels during the day. I fished them once from a jetty on Block during late morning. I'd watch cow stripers work along the edge of the jetty. I ended up vertical jigging some eels for them.

get them deep. this time of year there probably all 13,18,24" fish. though. might be better off with a diamond jig or shad if your right on top of a big school.

I fish them with an egg sinker above a 3 foot mono leader on a circle hook. Drop them to the bottom, pay out line as needed to keep them down.

Problem is dogfish LOVE eels so even when I have landed a couple of bass it is only a matter of time before the dogs show and its all over...

Clearly, I want the sinker to be invisible....
