Willard Bay access and shore fishing?

[Stratos99]

Another way to keep the mussel on you're hook is to run the point and shank through a little black colored piece of meat inside, then wrap and skewer the meat on the shank. Then you take a small elastic band and wrap around the outside of the mussel to the hook shank a couple of times.
I have put a heave ho to get out as far as I can with very little coming off, seems to work for me. I have even had some pretty good hit and runs with most of the meat still there when I reel in.
