I don't chunk pretty much ever anymore, but I used circle hooks when eeling last season. I hooked and landed almost all the fish that hit and made a run with the eel. I still had some gut hooked fish, but I was using gamakatsu's that are slightly offset... I understand that someone makes a "straight" circle which is better at preventing deep hooks.

If the fish aren't making a run, my bet maybe that they are just smaller fish... I've been into really small (8-12") bass at the cape and now here in pretty big numbers. Or possibly non-bass hits, such as skates. Anyone know if there are other species frequenting that area?
