Hey tk! This is a bit off topic now that you're trap fishing. But I was wondering if over the years you have noticed a statistical difference in catch rates when snelling circle hooks versus using a loop knot /crimp? Perhaps one method is better in your opinion?

[@tkoffshorefishing]

I have been crimping circle tunas since the 90s but hand tied worked fine as long as they were done correctly

Tide carries the traps a fair way as they drop so its like deflection shooting you need to lead the target. Dont ignore small reefs and rocks in the middle of nowhere. Some of the best Red Emporer catches come off lonely little features like these. Goldband and Saddletail will school up over dropoffs and around larger features. Remember if you smash the red swimmer crab bycatch into the next bait basket it gets Red Emporer. They love it. Best product in the world but I still wanted steak after a stinky day on deck. There is a boat that fishes for Leader prawn works outa the duckpond. Wait till you see how big those prawn are TK! Big as your forearm. He was happy if he got a dozen or more a night. Selling to the prawn farms for hundreds of dollars each.

Awesome mate, appreciate the heads up
