Do you guys who live bait troll for flounder set the hook on a hit or stop and wait?
that's where it gets confusing to me and please understand i have no clue which is best.Been watching a guy that fishes the same stretch of water i do a lot, he drifts with the current in a 12 ft jon boat and absolutley wears them out. Runs 4 rods out the back with huge mullet on carolina rigs. Some times he free spools for a few seconds and some times he sets the hook immediately. When i asked him for advice he just said, "you gotta get the feel for it." Apparently if it feels hung on something (line stops) set the hook, if it feels like youre dragging extra weight(line still moving), thats when you give them time to turn the bait in their mouth.

I have a hard time not setting the hook immediately when I feel a bit. Reeled in a lot of mullet minnow heads making that mistake.
You’re getting bit by bluefish then, not flounder.
