It was my mistake I was wiped out after the hunt and wasn’t paying attention. The big 60 for me this year fields were sloppy and at end of the day did 6.5 miles my butt was kicked, and pretty much just sent post in a delirious mode.And your effort is appreciated!

APOLOGIES for something of this kind is unnecessary… cellie..

When I used to fish the Nissequoge River - at night in a canoe - almost always at night - I would float eel on 2" red lighted bobber for bass. Pretty much what I fished for
Two reasons:
[LIST=1]
[*]kept the eel off the bottom & swimming around thereby resulting in little or no "eel balling"
[*]didn't use a sinker & use the reel in close to an open bail mode as possible - used a Shimano Baitrunner reel which actually kindas gives you that option while leaving the bail closed - fish could take it - run with it but the moment you cranked the handle the drag would reengage at whatever level you had it set to
[*]as I was fishing at night it made it easier to see where your eel actually was in the river current
[LIST]
[*]the canoe was at anchor whenever I was doing this to keep it from being moved around by the currents in the river
[/LIST]
[/LIST]
Fishing this way also allowed the eel to cover a lot of territory. Much more then if I went to using a fishfinder with lead on it & the eel would constantly ball as well. It looked pretty cool too when a good size bass would hit pulling it underwater.
;)
Had a couple friends that would go out with m e occasionally. They also switched to the lighted bobber.
