Mike, when speaking of eels,,,

is that a bait or a lure?
....

I hope you know what you started, that will be the Title to the next 4 new threads. ,,,

Seriously though,, I don't consider eel fishing equal to bait-fishing. I do work chunked baits thru drifts...and I will also make occasional bounces with my chunks when bottom fishing, to rejuvenate the juices as well as move it away from a tugging crab or just to another spot,,, but eel fishing in an essence, is plugging ...with a "Living" plug. "Plugging" by definition, is to "keep at something" which to me means continuously casting and retrieving, that's what I do with eels, , thus plugging .
I have also chunked FAT river eels, but I consider that Bait Fishing, it's all in what you do with the eel that makes it a plug or a bait. Happy now??

In my analogy, I was comparing a 2 -3 oz. needle versus a bloody, fresh pogy chunk ..............I should have been more specific.






but just like in my other post, I would still pick BAIT over PLUGS if there was money on the line

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
