After years of fishing live eels, at the end of last year I started just fishing dead ones much of the time. This is fishing in water less than 10' with little current. Drown them when I first get them and put them in freezer bags and freeze them. Hook them in the normal live eel way and fish them slow but adding some movement. Had a very good fall season so I going to continue with this. Makes carrying and hooking easier and faster, especially when standing in rough water. Just re-freeze the ones you don't use.

Mike,
You stumbled upon the secret of Morto Anguilla! Good for you to figure it out.

I am going to try to fish more with Pikies this year. Sort of a Pikie revival going on.

I have a basement full of about 50 new plugs that need some abuse...pray for me, St. Numbskull...

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind

3-1 odds that most of them don't make it out of your basement

I get the dinks and Blues out of my system early when they first show up then just concentrate on big fish. I put away the light tackle all together and dont even bring it with me when I head south. BIG GUNS+BIG PLUGS+VAMPIRE MODE=BIG BASS.

Continuing my exploration of deeper water and jigging rubber on 2-4oz jig heads. Going to focus more on black sea bass this year and fluke during the season, love to get a freezer full of blackie's this year.
