In my limited blackfish encounters, I can tell you that they are either nibbling or inhaling. When they nibble you will miss a lot of fish and will get a lot of hookups on the lips. Plus those big teeth make for a lot of missed hookups. When they are inhaling baits, the hookup rate goes up a lot for obvious reasons. I don't think I they are line shy but they just don't commit to taking the whole crab in on the first moment you feel a tap. For those moments you might be better off with a snafu rig with 2 hooks. They aren't smart, they just like to break up their food before they swallow it.

Just my humble opinion. I'm not a master at catching them.
