if using a t-shirt, use the string to tie up the bottom and sleeves.

stuff some hay/straw in, then the bait.

tie up the neck of the bag/t-shirt with around 10yards extra

throw into the water, eels usually prefer warmer water, so look for the areas where the sun hits, also weed or other cover are places where eels lurk.

tie the trailing 10yds of the string to a tree or just push a bit of stick into the ground for an anchor

go home/fall asleep in ditch

return next day and pull up bag

if eels are inside, take them out *carefully!!* and kill them by cutting off their head or bludgeoning it on a rock.

gut, then put guts back inside bag, tie up hole where eel chewed it's way in and throw back in river.

if bag is empty, find a better spot and try again.
