Do you wrap the livers in anything to keep them on the hook? Have heard of people using hose or other meshy materials. Hadn't thought of using beef liver before.

black mollies???? are we talking black goldfish?

Cut liver in strips like a large nightcrawler.

The bait shop lists them as black mollies, look like finger length drum, to me. First time we used them was because it was all the had and we were not finding shad with cast net. Bought a dozen, put on circle hooks 5/0. Caught 10 blues 15# up.
