Hard clam/quahogs are pretty good eel bait.Get the biggest hogs you can find. Used horseshoe crab back in the day. Egged up females fished really well.We would use a machete to hack them into four square.

I've found fresh herring/mackeral to be good bait for eels. I'm an eel fisherman from Nova Scotia and that works best for me.

It's fairly simple to build your own Eel Traps. There is a tutorial at eeltraps.com. It is easy to find bait too, since you can just use minnows. Best of luck to you.
