How to **** off the family...

I don't like fishbites. I've bought the strips before, and the mesh is a pain in the ass. It's hard to get it off your hook when changing the bait. "HK" wrote in message ...

I may try it, but I am still going to work on my techniques. Went out yesterday and actually angled for fish, instead of trolling or dropping live bait on the bottom. Did not point one tip at any fish, still can't stop setting with reel though. I find that with circle hooks you are much less apt to gut hook the fish. Usually catch them in the corner of their mouth. Easier to remove the hook and much easier on the fish. That's true in general, but... I've seen circle hooks get caught in odd angles - they don't work all the time exactly the way they are intended to work. Depends on the bait used and how much. I agree, but I'm still convinced they're better than other designs. I went out fishing for a few hours this afternoon after the north wind here today died down. Used circle hooks. Brought no bait. Was asked how I expected to catch fish without any bait. Said I didn't expect to. Catching fish is not necessarily the most important aspect of "going fishing." Spent a bit of the time practicing casting with light egg sinkers and no hooks at all. Get some Berkeley Gulps (small shrimp work well) to keep on board for the times you don't have bait. You can fish it just like live shrimp or cut-bait right off the bottom, and they sometimes work better than live bait...especially in preventing the bait stealers from stripping off your bait. Yup. I use those already. Also use FishBites, artificial bloodworms that work well on baitfish, croakers, et cetera. The Fishbite bloodworks are a bit different. |
