Hi,Maybe somebody can tell me their method for fishing live eels from a private boat. I have a 19 foot center console and have used a heavy sinker to stay almost straight and went up 3 feet to a 3 way swivel and then a 10 foot floro-carbon leader (40-50 pound test) and to a 5/0 circle hook and hooked the bass tru the lower jaw. I drift. Is this the best way to fish for bass from my boat? Thanks,Davey...ps. Do i worm the same way?

I use a similiar method, but with a shorter leader also. however i thought it was worth mentioning 1 thing. When drifting I keep the weight just off the bottom, just dropping it down ever so often to keep in touch. This lets the eel drift quietly alond the bottom.
