[cool]Thanks for the info Jimmy, and welcome to the Bigfishtackle.com message boards! I was actually going to ask where the usual spot for hooking them was. Sometimes hooking them through the lips is the prefered method. I suppose it depends more on your method for fishing.
Like in Santee Cooper for instance. Alot of the time, the guys are drifting with live bait and a "slinky" weight. On the occasion you're drifting, hooking the bait through the lips or eyes would be most efficient. When I drift for flounder on the reef, I hook my mullet minnow through the eyes, and if i'm using mud minnows, I hook them through the lips from bottom to top. (keeps the barb off the snaggs)
Are you still in Ohio, or have you migrated to the Carolina's? I've met alot of anglers from Ohio that came to Myrtle Beach for vacation and decided to make it home. LOL, can't blame them, the out skirts of MB, like garden city and murrells inlet, is a nice place to be; especially if you like good food and fishing. [

Thanks again for your inputs wrightman!
