There are several ways to hook the bait.
1- Through the lips. usually from beneath the chin with the hook point up
toward the eyes.
2- Through the back, Be careful not to hook through the spine.
3- through the meaty area near the tail.

Yes, actually I try to get a bit further into the head without piercing the
brain. the roof of the mouth has a tough piece that helps hold the hook.
Try not to kill the bait, as the struggling bait attracts more bites.

If the bait has any type of snout, like a sardine, we hook them
horizontally under the nasal bone.

I prefer to live-line baitfish with the hook between the Dorsal Fin and the Lateral Line.
Make sure you do not hit the Lateral Line as its located over the spine.
