Mostly going after reds, speckled trout and flounder I think. Honestly after growing up around guides I'll just target what they think will have the best success.

I've only used circle hooks a handful of times but hard hooksets are something I have to make myself do after growing up with trout.

You shouldn't be using actual circle hooks for anything inshore. You can't set the hook like a bass with trout as their mouths are a lot softer, but you can set the hook.

If you do for some reason use actual circle hooks, just let the fish run with it. It's got to find it's way to the corner of the mouth. Setting the hook will just pull it out.
