Question
Where do you hook them?
I've always hooked them through the eyes. If I'm anchored, I may go up from the bottom lip and come out the nostril.
Always looking to meet up and fish in the Polk County, FL area.
Only other way is near the tail, but I use the lips and sometimes the eye more. However I only use minnows in the summer and then I also use a jig below the minnow.

upper lip; thru one nostril
Grew up hooking behind dorsal fin but moved to hooking through bottom lip then top lip. They last longer and seem to move better.

I have been hooking them right below the dorsal fin for way longer than I am willing to admit, never had any survival issues unless I missed a bite.
