I have either gone to single tail hooks or cut off 2 of the 3 trebles on rear hook. I also crushed all my barbs. I have doubled my attempt to keep fish in the water and not hang it by a boga. I didn't fish that much for holdovers this winter as just hammering schoolies gets old fast. I will fish the canal prob. 2 -3 times this year but as with prior years won't try to catch as many fish as I think I can knowing I'm still going to have fish who are released die.
