Same here but I been letting them take it for a second or 2 and then set the hook. I used that hesitation today and had my limit in an hour and a 1/2. Had to throw back at least 5 for every keeper. It was on today with the tide.

tide was HUGE for us too.... soon as they started biting i was flippin like i do bass. specs were biting 5 ft away from the boat.... ALL 10-11 inchers though. couple of 12's mixed in but yeah the ratio was around 5 to 1 that day.
