Live bait and circle hooks
Just an observation: I usually use live macs circle hook through the nose and very seldom hook the striper anywhere but the lip. Yesterday using harbor pollack, circle hook through the nose, not a single lip hook, everything was deep.
Thoughts?

Pollack about same length as macs. Trolling speed? They just inhale the pollack? Advantage of circle hook is you really don't have to "set the hook". While trolling tendency is to self-hook.

i think it also matters what way the fish runs once it picks the bait up.
i know the last few times i used circle hooks and live bait/ chunks, the fish that ran left to right where all hooked in the corner of the mouth but the fish that run straight out were hooked deeper in the mouth.

That's what we did with pogies. Use to use a treble through each nostril but with circles we went to in front of the dorsal fin. |
