looking forward to trying the Hookup Baits I got at FH..........I had this idea to discourage sea lions. What if you put a small treble just like you would with a trap rig, but do not have it tied, they sometimes ignore the trap rigged bait but sometimes grab the tail and let you pull the hooks out. they definitely eyeball the bait good before taking it.
I know one of the OG used to swear by wrapping some wire or a bread tie around the base of the tail.

Keeping dogs off
I actually use a trap rig. I just put the treble hook as far back as I can. Usually works against the old dogs that dont want to get hooked. Sometimes the younger ones dont know any better and will take the whole thing and you have to beeak off.

Thanks for the advise! I might try that. I had no idea they could see the hooks and avoid them. That's pretty cool actually. I just bought some big game hookup baits so maybe that will help. I used the shad White 5/8 oz for most of the fish but the 3/8 oz yellow green worked well too if anyone is looking for them. I wouldn't go less than 5/8 because it doesn't sink very well with the current. I'll post if the treble works.
