Theres no rules mate. Spear, hinaki( net), or abot of string/ nylon. Hand line is easier than rod.

I used to suppy the local fish shop and got $2 a kilo.
I found the best bait was beef liver but let it get all smelly first. Fresh bait doesnt serm as effective for eels unless theres plenty of blood.

My pb was 12kg and that day i got $56 from the fish shop. Was all good for a 13 year old.

This is just my experience with eels
