Default Re: Stripers Not Committing on Livies

Gerry I feel your pain brother! This past Sunday we must of had 10 fish come up knock our baits around and not fully commit. One fish we let run for over a minute! He ran for 35-40 seconds, paused as he repositioned the bait in his mouth, then ran again and when we set the hook, NADA! Bait came back with just a few scales missing! Tried single J hooks & even big 5/0 trebles. In front of the dorsal, behind the dorsal, underneath behind its a**hole, etc. Nothing worked! By sheer dumb luck we finally got one to commit and get in the boat. Frustrating beyond words...
