Bait Hook
How to hook live bait? (here in dallas, texas)?
I mainly fish in Lake Dallas and have been using shad and minnows on my hooks. Whats the best way to hook a shad or minnow? I was taught to stick the whole fish in the hook from mouth to tail with the hook still being covered, basically killing the fish. How have most of you hooked live bait and what do you think works best?
I use hook size 2 and 5, with a leader and weight on the end. I believe the hooks might be too big but in the end I'm just a beginner and don't really know. Initially I thought it would be better to hook the fish through their mouths so that they would stay alive. please advise.
A size 2 hook might be a little large unless you are using minnows of 4" or larger. For the smaller crappie or chub minnows a size 4 hook either through both lips or right below the dorsal fin might be better for you.
