I know its still months away, but im going to start watching for all the hooks and tackle that I will be donating to,i mean fishing the maumee and sandusky river with this year. I have a few questions regarding legalities. What is the proper way to measure a hook from shank to point? And also why doesnt anyone take an erie dearie for example, put on a smaller hook, and bait it with a worm. Or tip jigs with minnows? I havent really seen anyone doing anything like that and have been curious. Any and all answers would be apprecited. Thanks and tight lines!
