I cut mine to 3 hooks as well. No dehooker, they usually wiggle of or I will gently remove it from their lip. Since I have the Malibu Stealth I can easily drop them right in the tank in front of my lap.

You are correct with the identity of the bait.

As far as depth on your sonar do you have it set to auto depth? Where you saw me last week with the yellows was right at 105 feet of water.

Setting on your FF will depend on which one you have. On mine (Lowrance Elit 4x DSI) I am still dialing it in. With the 800Khz setting I was seeing everything but palagics. Last week I set it to 455 Khz and the detail was better and when I was hooked on one of the yellows Surfisher said he ccould see my fish under the boat at 50 feet. All I was seeing were a few dots and then some more profound dots. So This help me identify what they look like on my finder. Not the arches I was hoping to see. So it will take more time to dial it in and what all of those dots and scratches and balls mean.
