Fishing tomorrow morning
So I ended up going out saturday night and got three bites that the fish just dropped. The first one I tried setting the hook pretty much as soon as it grabbed it and then the line just went slack. The second one I waited till it stopped running and then as soon as it started again I tried setting it and again it went slack. The third time I decided to wait a little longer and after a solid 5 second run without me touching the rod, it went slack. I was using a bonita head with the hook up through the upper lip. Is there anything I should be doing differently(setting the hook, hook placement on the bait, size bait etc.) I was using a circle hook btw.
If you're using offset circle's the running man works great however with in line circles I don't recommend it. Try letting it eat the bait longer. I usually wait until I feel the shark swallow the bait (up to 2 mins) unless its a hammer and its ripping line like none other.
