Bo Peep
I wonder why you're missing so many bites. We missed two in two hours and were 7 for 7 on those that got hooked. What's your set up?Fished Friday landed over a dozen natives with 6 clippers we had 4 people in the boat. Probably had over 50 bites. We fished Saturday with 3 people probably still caught over a dozen natives but only one clipper. Seems like the hatchery fish have moved on and these fish are a different batch. Overall was a good weekend with a ocean that was like a lake.
we had a lot of short bites but we run 2 4/0 hoochie, plug cuts, brad lures they seemed to bite on anything just seemed like a lot of them did not want to take it.I wonder why you're missing so many bites. We missed two in two hours and were 7 for 7 on those that got hooked. What's your set up?
That is about the same setup we had run. I know we have had days before using the same setups and land every bite we have. Some days there stubborn fish.I run 3/0 4/0. I put the trailing hook behind the hoochie farther than you might expect with the herring chunk on the top hook in the skirt. I run whole red label herring or anything small with the top hook through the snout and the trailing hook as far back as I can and still get it to bend. I'm far from an expert but I rarely lose fish.
They definitely bite different from day to day but the most consistent way to increase hook ups is a small trailing hook that has the pointy part very exposed at the very end of your offering.That is about the same setup we had run.

No reports but by now I'd be focusing on the river if my boat wasn't in the shop.Any recent reports from the ocean I hear it has died way down going tomorrow I am thinking of heading north towards Florence unless someone says different.
