Re: live mullet for bait in the patterson river - worth a tr

Do you guys have a way of figuring out what size hook to use in what size bait?

...obviously I mean when live baiting.

What is the purpose of a shock leader and when should I use?

...one?

As the title says, what exactly is the purpose of a shock leader and under what circumstances should I look at using one. Starting to get into some heavier gear and i'm interested in this specific technique with regards to casting heavy weights good distances when using braid.

Re: live mullet for bait in the patterson river - worth a tr

I've always used the points through the back near the dorsal or near the mouth, my basis stay alive fire a long time but I also don't catch much on love bait.

Re: Preferred lines?

Depends on what i'm fishing for. 6-12 lb braid works for 90% of my fishing adventures.

Re: Surf Trip / Reeves Beach / June 13th, 14th & 15th.

If the weather forcast doens't improve in the next 48 hours I might pull the pin. Don't mind getting wet, the swell and wind don't look great for fishing though. What do you guys think?
