SOunds like you need to loosen your drag or get some new hooks! What hooks are you using? Bowfin can be hell on hooks also.
August 17, 2010 at 1:46 am #893729probably just dogfish or turtles. i wouldn’t waste your time looking for flatheads in there…
August 17, 2010 at 2:17 am #893738im not targeting flats i was just wondering if there was numbers of them in there!!!
im using 3/0 L091 eagle claw bass hooks and 3/0 circle hooks!
i have got 2 big snappers from down there but i got both of them in on the same kind of hooks with no problems and drag at the level it was when i bent my hooks!!!! idk ii might just start using all circles!
