. there are times.. especialy early in the season and in the dead of summer.. if you dont fish eels.. you go fishless..it's just the cold hard facts... even in 3' of water....

That has not been my experience....and I drowned a lot of eels before I woke up to what I was missing.
Worst is when I fished a spot for a many years- figured out that the first 2 hours of the incoming when low is 11 pm on a new moon with the wind from the southwest in August or September is as close to guaranteed as you can get- and that is only a couple of nights- and I can't go because life gets in the way. Then wherever I have to be that's not at the spot- I am dying inside.

Pat- my problem is that I cannot fish as much as I want and I try to make each trip the best shot at it- and cut down on unproductive time.
So I stick to my known areas- until a client says they have a beach house in a private restricted area- then I try to figure it out in a hurry. Nice to pull up to the gate and tell the guard- I am a guest of Mrs Jones.
