Stripers on eels?
Message:
Just bought a 14ft sylvan with a 20hp engine on the back. I do a lot of striper fishing in Norwich, but i was hoping to try some new areas. Got out last weekend at Bartlette's Reef and this weekend out in front of Harkness Park. Both times slinging eels. But no stripers. Can anyone help me out here? What am i doing wrong?

What is the water like there? Deep shallow? You can drift eels on a 3 way with a sinker in deep water or cast them and retrieve them slow w twitches here and there like a sluggo in shallow water or rips.. If there's bass around they should hit them. You can also try tying a teaser 2' up from the eel which will double your chances of catching something.
Good luck and don't forget to knock out the eels first or you will end up with knots in your line....

I can testify to the eel knockout thing!! I tried them for the first time the other day and had to cut one off the line as it wrapped itself up so bad I didnt even know where to try to start untangling that mess. The second one I wacked a little but didnt reel it in fast enough and he snuggled up to a rock and I lost that one and my set up! Never used them before and learned a hard lesson, also learned that I needed a towel to hang on to them slippery beasts!
