a 6" Deadly #^&#^&#^&#^& with the tebbel hook switched to a 6-7 Mustard hook. Cast into the school and let it sink...

L jack jigs but they are pricey, I found cabelas Real Image jigs work just as well and you can buy then for about 2 bucka apiece. I have also done well with fishing small finess w/ jig head, small storm jigs, and other small plastics.

What to do

If you do get one of the footballs and its > 27" whats the next process if you want to keep it? I've read that you have to bleed them out immediately...is this right??? Or should it jut be put on ice? Sushi options?

In addition to new hooks, I would change out the split rings also.

Hey Sea-Gar,

Before you bleed it, make sure you have a permit!

Bleed it. Single stab wound at the base of the pectoral fin or cut the gills. Stab is quicker and easier.
