Glad you'll are doing so well. I put out about 50 jugs late last Saturday starting at Babin cut going south. I was baiting with blood and cut bait. I caught 5 on one run and picked them up. I guess I should have stuck with it a little longer. Were are you'll fishing? Were are you getting your bait?
I use Mustad EasyBaiter circle hooks. They work great.
what kind of hooks are you using on your lines
