BIG Snakes

[Goose]

No secret dead eels are deadly....I been potting some sweet eels just a tad bit bigger then I like to throw ..don't get me wrong I'm still tossing the big'ins at this time of year but I was think bout taking some down to size by cuting off a few inchs then fishing then like I normaly would....have you had any success doing that?

Goose,

Bob Rocchetta's world record striper ate a LARGE eel -- Bob's preference to this day is large and the blacker the eel the better. If working an anaconda from the surf, it's hard to beat the trust old EelBob rig.

Anyone on this board ever opened a striper and found an eel in its stomach? How often? What's your thoughts on why they're such effective baits?

I think aside from sand eels, with the larger American Eels, it may be more territorial or just sheer agressive hatred on the Stripers part. Eels are voracious foragers and possible competition for the Stripers for food. I don't know. Just a guess?

The eels are not found on the beach in the surf but in inlets, ponds, brackish waters.
It is like love at first site and both go their seperate ways to do there own thing. Then one nite they meet unexpectantly in the surf then bam.

for decades in so.co. big snakes wew the sought after bait for the big mama's. stripers spawn in the bay's ect. where the ells are a primary pretator of their egg's. maybe the bass know this from generations past and react in anger slow eddie.



put them back alive :

I dont know if you have heard of this technique, but some guys rip the skin off the eel and wrap them over plugs or jigs.
