From 4:30pm to 1:00am,, drifting eels and jigging all by myself, braving the weather. Except for the on off light rain it was a real nice night weather wise. But only got shorts. 8 of them. had 1 legal but I tried to lip him in the boat cause the darn net was on the rocket launcher and lost him. If monday during the day is nice I am going to change my tactics. Maybe try chunking bunker. Any ideas are welcome. Rariton bay area.

Depends on how mean you can be...
Nice way - Keep your eels over newspaper which is over some ice (keeps them calm. Grab one with a rag and right up through the lips. Get him in the water ASAP to keep down the tangles.
Mean way - Grab an eel by the tail, slam him against the deck untill a little blood comes out the mouth. Hook the same way. This way the eel gives off some injured vibes, plus a little blood in the water.

I just put them in a couple inches of water. I give them a squirt every once in a while. I,ve tried just ice but they still get fiesty after you hook them. I like to hook up through the roof of the mouth and out of an eye. they seem to stay alive longer that way..But I use no. 8 circle hooks and its a pain to hook them like this. 3 foot of fluro, barrel swivel, bead and a 1oz egg sinker.
