Stripers Not Committing on Livies
Seems to me we are all getting a lot of run offs with no hook ups fishing live Bunker. Had it happen to me several times last season and a few this season as well...
Any suggestions on methods, hooks etc to improve our hook up ratios? What size hooks and are you using circle hooks or not? Let the fish run in free then set hook? Where are you hooking the Bunker? Better to snag and drop?? I'm using circles and Octopus, letting the Bunker run before trying to come tight and hooking the bunker either through the nostrils or right ahead of the dorsil fin. What say you??? Getting tired of swinging and missing
