Setting the Hook - Some Advice Please

[birdshark]

I was fishing a sandy beach today that was loaded with small schoolies all afternoon. 10' spinning rod with 20# mono. All they wanted was a Kastmaster and teaser (mostly the teaser).

I landed 10+ fish and probably dropped another 15 more, which bugged the hell out of me. I'm thinking the hooks were not sharp enough or I was blowing setting the hook.

I know it's a little elementary, but any advice on technique would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
