Reply With QuoteUse as little weight as possible too. I fish unweighted and it drifts/moves into the strike zone and with the bigger ones its no bites so you have to be ready.
I was fishing a week ago with live mullet and they were getting bitten in half.
I was hooking them through the tail, I did not hook up a fish until I started pinning them through the back around the middle.

I normally use a 2/0 on smaller whole mullet, feed it through near the tail and about 3/4 through the back so the leaders still through the tail keeping the fish pretty straight and keeping the natural look.. if they want it they will try take it whole and as they bite down and run the hook comes out and nails them perfectly in the lipOriginally Posted by MudRiverDan
keegan013, you use a 2\0. i was going to go with a circle hook so if i did happen to land one i can release it easier.....2/0 is obviously big enough. I have no idea about jacks and was going to go bigger...

I use a 2/0 suicide hook from mustad. Red one.
Well, headed off to Brunswick for the weekend inspite of the forcast to land one of these buggers but to no avail. Had one good strike but as mentioned before by many on this site, i was daydreaming and it was all over before i knew what had happend. Rod nearly got ripped out of my hands, all hell broke loose, kicked my tackle box into the water, nearly fell off the bloody rocks, and got busted off much to the enjoyment of a couple of crew sitting nearby watching me !!!! First thing my mate said was what the hell was that! I knew what it was and was blown away by the power. Next time i will be ready.......next time....

Lol it's like they poke there head out and wait for that moment! Then they hit, unlucky mate!
Unlucky maybe mate but now i am keener than ever to get one. I reckon that bloody fish was watching me. I was on edge for about the first hour not game to even move waiting for the hit. As soon as i vague out BAM!!!!!!
