If you have a lil' free time,try this.
Get minnow trap & set it in a brackish saltmarsh estuary.
Be sure you have choosen a clandestine location (nothing worse then being pillaged or loosin a trap).
Aquire some bait,I find a McDonald's burger (dollar menu) works best for bait ,but oily leftovers (porkchops & lasagna) will yield.
Set the trap w/ "burger bait" before the first daylight high tide. If you have a decent location it will fill up w/minnows
Leave the minnows in the trap overnight (live bait works best).Eels are nocturnal & will enter the trap at night to feed on the minnows
Check trap the next morning & throw em' on a hook by the dozen .
No I am going to try that next,last night only yielded 3 but 2 were 16" +. Three of us went out today and landed 5 between 30 -42" with about 6 more between 24 and 28. Beautiful weather and non stop action!
