Drifting Eels in BIG Currents

[RIROCKHOUND]

If you are in a boat.
3-way swivel w/ a bank sinker on one eye and your leader on the other.
Everyone has seemed to forget about this technique....
finesse w/ rubber core is not always the best way to go....

as mentioned, rubber cores. just enough to get eel down. in north river we 3 way. use enough wait to keep line straight down and bounce as you drift.
be very, very careful there. I almost drowned there one night. fell off boat at 2am in foul weather gear, no pfd on a dropping tide and my buddy didn't even know I was in the water. scaaaaary

Thats some great info guys, thanks. Wow Redlite, that fall MUST have been scary. It can get nasty out there, I couldn't imagine that at night!
