OK, you guys are going to think i'm crazy, but I want to know if there is a way to target eel in a fast moving river. I caught one by accident yesterday and used him for cut bait. I remember reading that catfish love them some eel, and they were right. I fished all day with worms, and just when we were about to leave that eel bit the line. We caught 2 nice blue cats with in about 30 minutes. They weighed about 15 pounds a peice. That's a good sized blue. When the water is up in the river, it's very difficult to catch a panfish for bait, so you have to resort to worms. However, if there were a way to catch eel, that would kick butt. Eels shouldn't be affected by the change in water level, I just don't know how or were to catch them. Help me out!!!
