About 10 years ago now we got into 30-45 lb bass for about a month and a half. All you needed was the first couple hours of the drop to be during darkness. Most casts with an eel you didn't even have to turn the handle on the reel. And this would be for about 2 hours per night. We would get board and just start throwing anything out there to see if they would hit it. Crazy good. The next year we had fish the same time of year there, but it gradually died off over a couple seasons. Last few years its been completely dead but its hard not to at least show up and try a few times. Will never forget those weeks though. Surprised my marriage and career survived it.
