Some questions:
Hooks--need help. What are the specs on the hooks you use for Alewives. Brand, size. Style. I tried some expensive hooks but the barb is small and even shiners get off no matter how hooked. Got some larger hooks with good size barbs but its a little rough on a 3-4 inch bait fish. Used trebels with big barbs hooks for a long time with success but it just doesn't look right to me now.
I like your idea about getting the line out before baiting the hook and the downlines for ease of checking bait with the shorter live span this time of year.
Any advice?
