Youth Fishing Club Expert Tip for the Week

Using the correct size hook will help you catch more fish and reduce the number of fish that swallow the bait. A hook that is too large will be too big for the fish to take into their mouth. A hook that is too small will not readily hook the fish and will be easily swallowed. When using live bait such as nightcrawlers and worms for sunfish, use a number 10 to 12 hook. Use a larger number 4 to 6 hook when using larger minnows and other baits for largemouth bass.
