finegrain, Parker fished with me this morning at 8.2 and we were done by 7:30. On that herring set up, an old salt friend of mine sticks a piece of wire through the mouth down to the anus, then puts top hook in below the chin and out the nose to keep mouth shut then lets trailing hook trail. This allows you to bend the bait for a fast
or slow roll and more inportantly, troll fast.
