keeping eels

[Mike P]

Get a bucket with holes drilled in it. Put the bucket under an outdoor faucet, and prop up the far end on a small stone. Turn the faucet until a dribble of water comes out--just past a steady drip. They'll keep that way for up to a week, especially in coller weather.

was on the vineyard last weekend, picked up two dozen eels on friday and still had eels alive on Monday when I left.

I had the eels in my eel bucket (copy of the custom eel bucket from s-b), we put the bucket in the bath tub let the water drip on the eels and the excess water and eel jiz drained out the drain hole and down the tub drain....WORKED GREAT and kept the eels alive for almost 4 days.

When I leave the eels outside I put a milk crate on top (top of bucket at bottom of milk crate)of the bucket with a heavy rock so the critters cannot get in and had a field day.
