first post-- a few ?'s

[g00se]

Hey guys, this is my first post here.. love the site.


I'm relatively new to saltwater fishing, I started last year. I spent the majority of last year doing what everyone reccomends, going out and seeing what works..

I've got alot of bullets in my tackle box, but I'm trying to get some more advice..

Everyone is talking about bunker, and I was able to snag a few a couple nights ago, early in the morning around 4 am.. but I was cutting them into chunks.. ended up catching a sea robin, but that was it..

I later learned that I should have been bringing them in, putting a 2/0 trebel through the nose and letting them swim.. you guys agree with that?

I also heard it's too early for eels.. plastic or live.. is there truth to that?

If it's any help, I fish in the milford/new haven area..

I really don't have a decent rod/reel setup yet.. I do most of my fishing from shore.. the guy at the store showed me some quantum reels.. what's the reccomendation from you guys? Thanks for any help !
