I'm fishing Craney Island Creek and using Mullet but haven't caught anything. I'll let you know if I do.

As far as I know. A visit to the pass office will give you the answer.

Have you tried the pier at Naval Station Norfolk?

Right under the dorsal fin. They stay alive longer and swim the same way as without the hook.

May I elaborate, at my striper beach on the river. An elder I call uncle Pete would catch a Sacramento pike at the boat ramp. Carry it way down stream and toss it out on a live bait rig. In short order, he would land a 20+# and leaving say good luck gentlemen. I'm fishing cut bait hoping for a 20"er. He said the tail hook kept his bait swimming away from the beach. Not hiding at your feet.
Huh! That makes total sense. Thank-you very much. Respectfully, Steve

Yes, that's about how I've gone about it... Maybe ever so slightly aft of center, but being sure not to part that spine. (Keeping it "north of center"; gauging from top to bottom.)
Thank you for your specific instructions. Sincerely, Steve

Hey Steve, a rough estimate is where the lateral line is. The nerves from the lateral line go directly to the spine.
Okay, I'll follow that. Thanks, Steve

Hey Steve, exactly don't know, but would hook down enough from top of fish to avoid. If hit it you will know that minnow will need an underwater wheel chair.
Yes, exactly. I don't want to paralyze it. It's already experiencing post traumatic stress disorder. Thanks, Steve

When I use slip bobbers it’s below or behind the dorsal fin. If I’m using a bottom bouncer or Lindy Rig it’s behind the lips. Good luck 👍🏻
Okay, great. That's good to know. Aye Aye, Respectfully, Steve

If you hook below the dorsal fin, not too deep but use a small bit of rubber worm on the hook to help keep minnow on.
That's interesting. I'll remember that. Thank-you, Steve

Hi Steve, recall most of the time through the dorsal fin area w/o hitting the spine, especially large 5-6" shiners with big bobber.
Less occasion through the lips---usually with smaller minnows, small hooks.

Thank-you, speaking of spine. Just how far below from the top of the back is the spine?

Yes MAS, I will do that. I know how to take the picture, and I can always ask my wife how to post them with the text. Respectfully, Steve
