The plan is to have another foray north marlin fishing for a month maybe longer esp if the salmon fishing season is not flash.
After last seasons experience i realise i have a massive weakness... my live baiting knowledge is limited ie NON EXISTANT ! I have been watching videos and reading articles on live baiting flat out to try and bring me up to speed.
Question[s] please. There seems to be a big variation in bait sizes used in NZ from say a small kahawai thru to a large skippy ? Do you use the same model and size hook say for an XL skippy as for a smaller kahawai ? Is the smaller bait "overpowered" by the bigger heavier gauge hook that you would use on the larger bait ? If you are only using the smaller bait as a pitch bait would it matter in the scheme of things the bait having the larger heavier hook attached to it for a limited time ?
