we get lots of them here. only way is to keep trap submersed and gently lift the eel out of the trap underwater. tough to do with a high gunnel boat. fresh water breaks the protein down, so if your traps get the ol hawktua, then blast em out back on the dock if possible.
That was the only time I experienced one. I decided then to not bring my traps with me next time

Yes, you used that one already. Not that it's not altogether true, but...
Sweetjim, thanks for breaking the silence. If I may ask, did you get your lings trolling or just simply jigging for them?
Where do you launch..?
Boat is moored at Sidney Port Marina. I always fish with Jason the owner of Bon Chovy.
MacDonald Beach or Steveston No.2 road launch are the best ones for crossing the straight for lings, if that’s what you’re asking.
