Fishing little lagoon
I have been fishing evenings with ghost shrimp on the bottom I get a bite in less than a minute no matter where I throw it but when I set the hook there is no fish and no bait , what's up.

IN the Lagoon?
Likely it's pinfish and small croakers nibbling your bait.
I prefer to use small kahle hooks (#6 or even #8) and let the fish tighten the line and just start reeling.
Unless the line just 'goes slack' (because the fish in moving towards me.
Either way I reel fast and let the fish set the hook on itself when it turns away from the pressure.
Hope this helps!
And WELCOME to the forum!!

I’ll be sliding into town March 10-14. Can you have it warm and sunny for me then? And also, how about having the fish biting??? :D
