Why are fish getting of my lines? - 04/01/22 06:18 PM
I usually use limb lines and short trotlines on rivers targeting flatheads. Bait depends on what we can catch in the area usually 4 to 6 inch bluegill or big gizzard shad. We catch a few nice fish but when we check our lines in the morning I find a lot of hooks empty where fish have gotten off. I use a 6/0 circle Sea eagle claw hooks. Is that the right size?Or do I need an entirely new hook? And should I be checking the lines at night?
