Well Cy, it's all about the Mighty Chesapeake. Unfortunately it just ain't goin on in our home pond if ya know what I mean. Rocks, Rocks, and mo' Rocks. One more cold front and it's on, full bore baby.
CY Im from Greenville N.C. but moved to a small town called Mappsville, Va. Been here 17 years now and finaly got my own boat.
Wife dont like to fish unless the fish are biting. Now has any body been able to tell weather or not they will get a bite before they go. "WOMEN". But the son on the other hand understands we might or might not get a bite but at least we get away for a while.
So im trying to keep him hooked on fishing so we have more father son quality time.
Air where do you get your eels from and what other bait would you use other than eel.
Eels are in stock now at SeaHawk Sport Center in Pocomoke. For the next few weeks you can still find a live spot I'd think and they would work great also. The big rock aren't really here yet.
Yep, keep em cool and damp, but not submerged in water and they'll live a good while. Don't leave em in a bucket in the garage, they like to go lookin around
If you leave them in water, they'll use up the oxygen and drown. If you leave them under a wet towel they can breathe for a long time. If you leave them in a bucket, they WILL get out and go looking around your garage, boat, or where ever you have left them. Amazing little suckers
Just curious, how do you guys fish eels down there?
If it is deep, say over 40 ft with current I like to 3 way them on a drift. other then that maybe a 1 ounce egg sinker if any and just keep feeding line to keep them on the bottom during the drift.
