fishculture is correct....it is not a hard one to interpet. However with a drop shot set up and 2 barbless hooks(small) it takes no time what so ever to catch your bait. Another one to remember is not to have more bait fish then your quota for bottom fish. In other words you don't want to have a bucket of more then 14 bait fish(sand dab/flounder) as you are fishing by yourself. More then that and you are limited and should not be fishing for lings. Although you should not need that many to catch a ling if you are in the right area. Also if you don't have an airaetor(spelling?) to keep bait oxygenated then it is best to only get a few at a time so they are fresh. When they have been in bucket for a while they lose their fight/action, and that is what catches the lings. When your bait is half dead it does not appeal to the lings as much.....not that they won't eat a dead one, but they can't resist one that is tugging on your line trying to get away!
