One thing that I have noticed is that bigger hooks don't necessarily mean more hookups. I had one bait stealer pick up my doughball several times a few weeks ago, but I never could get a hookup. The only reason I could think of was that i was using a bigger hook, a size 1 drop shot hook, than what I usually use, which is a size 4 or 6 red light wire hook, which also works on bream and catfish. Since I usually don't get to the lake early, I do my fishing late. I use bread, rice, or whatever will draw in the fish. Once the sun gets low, the fish will start moving up again. My usual method is to use my microlite spinning rig and go after bream and cats, and if a Buglemouth Bass comes along and breaks my 2 pound line, I go straight to the medium action spinning rig (heavy stuff for me, but I caught a 12 1/2 pounder earlier this summer with it-a good way to break in a new rig from the toy store in Prattville). The fun part is when I hook a Golden Bonefish that doesn't break the 2 pound line. I have landed a few on the microlite stuff, and believe me, a nice Carp on the buggy whip is a fight you won't soon forget.
