I've only ever use 8/0 circles for live-lining bunker because they work better than J hooks. I like the down turned eye and I snell them onto a 40# mono leader.

As for fishing reports- Stripers from 12" to 26" on my dock in Manasquan river. Night outgoing tide under a light is best but my brother has caught onesy-twosy in daytime when its really cranking...

Bluefish invaded the river yesterday....

Weather sucks for outside the inlet.

There is a beautiful Gulf Stream eddy in Toms Canyon and BFT have been caught.
There's talk of new restrictions for the Stripers. https://www.onthewater.com/striped-b...eid=f3935f98a3 Personally I wouldn't be upset if they banned taking ANY of them (Both Recreational and Commercial) for a season or two.

Thank you on using Circles :) I've been getting 12" -18" in the Hackensack River near the power plant and up river around the Rt 3 Bridge. Fun to catch.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
