N II Deep Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 David, two things to try. get a stone or file to sharpen your hooks, I try to run the stone a couple passes each barb before they go back out after every fish.also trolling direction, if your missing alot of fish or they do come in miss hooked turn the boat around 180 and give that a try.nice job on the fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again thanks for the info tho. Never really thought about sharping the hooks but is a good idea.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
