Any one ever try to bridle big Gizard shad like they do in Costa Rica and Panama? Pull a loped line thru the eye sockets and wind it and insert hook. Gona try it tomorrow at Hartwell if we can find some 16"
I have thought about trying it but it’s just too easy to put a 7/0 in its nose and a 1/0 treble in its back. Plus 90% of the big fish I have caught were hooked on the stinger.
Take the cast net. Should be easy to find them right now. You can catch the BIG adults on Murray right now by the truck load.

Never heard of that. Does it leave the hook more exposed? I like a large Kahle hook through nostrils and add a stinger hook. Most of the time the fish will turn the bait and get it head first but the stinger has hooked up with a few.
