  1. Thanks for the replies. I do ensure the hook is exposed. I wanted to make sure I wasn’t doing anything particularly wrong. I tried 8/0 circle hooks today but the cheese crumbled due to the thicker hook. The cheese is a bit dry though. I fish with other baits also and do plenty of lure fishing when the mood strikes, usually from the kayak. I just like to sit and soak bait sometimes and cod live cheese.
  2. I’ve been using 5/0 circle hooks with zero hookups.

  4. Hi I’ve been doing some bait fishing in and around Canberra, particularly for Cod on cheese. I’ve been getting lots of bites but few hookups. This is on baitholder hooks and circle hooks. I tend to baitfish with rods in holders. I often get solid bites but no hookup. I’ve tried keeping the line tight, giving it some slack, setting the drag as I want it for the fight or setting it super loose to allow the fish to take the bait. Nothing helps. What am I doing wrong???
