If you are actively fishing as John describes , you can feel the line. An old trick is to put your index finger over the line and you thumb undre it. Turn your wrist so you push the line down with your finger and up with your thumb. Then you can feel even a skate nibbling on your bait. If you wait too long to set the hook , the fish will be gut hooked. You want to avoid that for stripers since a lot will be undersize and therefore must be released.
