You might want to go into witness protection.  Just sayin'

Last year I was out for one good day on a boat and the Sinking line was worse than my friends floating line.  I had T-14 or T-17 full sink.  The flies got down well, but the hookups were rough.  And when the fish were jumping, the belly of the line was still 10ft underwater (u shaped) so it made fighting the fish a lot more difficult.  

It really depends on the day.  If they are down deep and you can't get to them any other way, Sinking line.  If they are active, floating or intermediate sink tips will be better (and cast better).

If you have to resort to a sinking line, you might want to move over to spinning gear :)

I echo Gregg's sentiments. Full sink has always works best for me in a boat and/or out on the rocks. At the very least, I would have a 15ft class V sink tip.

The foul hooking is most likely Gizzard shad that are seeking refuge against rocks in high water events. The Gizzards probably aren't your target quarry.

I find, that when I'm fishing a full sink I get less foul hooks that than sink tips. This might all be In my head and like most fishing info, Largely anecdotal and unsubstantiated at best. HA HA
