How do you hook a live mullet, so that it stays alive and your still able to cast out in the surf?

How do you hook a shrimp, so that it doesn't come off and stays alive while fishing off a pier or the jetties?
Every time i hook a shrimp to try an keep it alive, any little bite pulls it off.

just my .02 cents = mullet hooked thru tail or lip
= shpimp hooked thru horn or tail
usally fished w/ a split shot or free lined

Shrimp - horn or tail
Mullet - Tail ....

Bighead says skull but i have just killed tooooo many ... now if its already dead ALWAYS udner the lip though the skull

I agree mullet tail , and on the shrimp head or tail works but I prefer the head I think it stays on better and keeps a more natural movement , but could be wrong

If you have a wide gap hook, you can hook the mullet thru the eye sockets in front.

I have been trying it out right under the top fin...and it has worked great for me....they stay alive for a long time.
On the shrimp.....same as everyone else......
Good luck....

For mullet, I will use not only through the tail, but through the eyes. When going through the eyes, as app posed to the head, it is a simple to find the no kill spot.
Use for mullet and muddies only.

Non-expert, but I've had luck hooking through the belly just ahead of the bung hole 1/8' into the mullet or chad. They swim more naturally (upright) and live a long time. And they don't throw off the hook.
