Re: Fresh water Eels
Believe it or not, I've caught my biggest walleye on a live eel. We fish from dusk till about midnight in the philly area and load a cooler full. We go for 24 to 36 inches but smaller ones work too. If you go too small, bigger eels eat them. At midnight, trailer the boat and head to the Trenton area. Boat is back in the water around 3am with eels on baitrunners. Make sure you use baitrunners because if you doze off, your rods will be gone when you wake up. About an hour before sunrise, you will hear your drags screaming. It a very tiring process but worth it. We catch walleyes, cats, bowfin, stripers and even got a smallie once.
