Joe,
Bay Bridge pilings, sharp drop offs around oyster bars, east side of Pooles Island drifting over humps are good places to try. 24"eel is a big eel. we usually use ones around 12". I use medium spinning tackle with 20# braid and a 50 or 60# test leader about 30"long. Use a small coast lock swivel on the main line and on the end of the leader. This will allow you to add in line weights 1 oz, 2 oz if current is strong.
Some guys slow troll by bumping in and out of gear over certain areas and they use an 8 foot leader from the eel to a three way swivel and 6 or 8 oz weight on a 2 foot dropper off of the 3 way.
