Hooking herring for livelining
What's peoples opinions on hook placement for livelining herring. Some guys like to come up through the snout. Some guys like to hook through the eyes. I especially like to hook them in front of the dorsal fin but thats tough unless you are letting them down from above as from a bridge or boat. Any thoughts? Also what hooks do you like. I like 6/0 live bait or 6/0 Gama Octopus. Some peole prefer thinner gauge hooks saying they are easier on the herring. Opinions?
