I know that live lining eels is prohibited during the trophy season but can you use lures that look like eels?

I would think you can. It's an artificial lire, not a bait.

Absolutely. You can also use Gulp eels.Originally posted by Tom Lagana View Post2018 Hobie Outback (seagrass)

I was actually reading about those recently and apparently they're a very good alternative to live eels. I'm going to give them a go here soon.Originally posted by buzz View PostZack

Last Sat I experimented with a plastic strip that vaguely simulates an eel. I used a 14" piece of plastic that is the backbone left over from injection molding of a batch of soft plastics. I pulled it on a 3/4-oz jighead. Over two hours, I did not get any bites of that lure. But I have caught fish on shorter pieces of plastic backbone in other years.

I have never caught a rock on the Gulp eel. But once I got a few good hits.
It was late April, trolling slow and deep along the channel edge about a mile off Breezy Point.

Hey Tom Here is a Video of me using the Gulp Eels for the First time a couple of years ago. I like them they produced 2 nice rocks for me that day, but shelf life is short.

I was thinking of using some off the shelf tube baits that imitate eels I saw at BPS but I read the regulations to state "no stinger or trailing hooks" until after April 15. All of those red and green rigs I saw have 2 hooks and I didn't want to be out of regulation. I figure they have this regulation during catch and release season so we don't gut hook a fish that we can't harvest.
Am I way off the mark on my understanding of the regulations or can we use those tube rigs I'm talking about or use 2 hooks on an artificial eel?Comment
