Fishing With Live Eels

[Ms Fish]

Aww man Nick  .... break the back bone... I don't think I could do it.  I can barely hold them long enough to get them on the hook let alone crunch them in half.  All and all good stuff!!

  , cigar butts..   you don't usually catch blues on eels they leave you about 2" of the head portion.  I have caught eels at my marina in plain old Killie traps.  You have to buy an extra killie trap extension piece the lengthens the trap by about 10" to 12". This is because if the eel enters a normal size killie trap and bumps it's nose on the other end it will back out of it. The extension lengthens the trap so they don't do this.
  $2 an eel is the going rate.  As Capt.Carl mentioned, it's just easier to but them. But if you had the time to trap your own give it a try.

Anybody have experience using Eels from the surf?

Eels off the surf or jetties will work very well but make sure they don't tie themselves in a knot or you will be sitting there wasting your time

It's true it's true  ...I did but Matty really was the Ace that helped me out that day! Let alone THE CAPT that put us over the fish. What a day man... what a day!
