Default Shooting Fish

This post is about trying to get some action from a couple of fish at the table. I usually follow standard hand guides as to when to limp, call, raise, etc. pre-flop, but think the situation below needs some adjustment.

I'd appreciate any advice on which of these hands I should play and whether I should call or raise.

Many thanks.

Full Tilt 0.25/0.5 Hold'em (9 handed)

Fish 1: VPIP 54.2%, AF 0.67 over 24 hands
Fish 2: VPIP 56.6%, AF 2.2 over 76 hands

Hand 1
Fish 1 is UTG+1, Fish 2 is SB
Preflop: Hero is CO with 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Fish 1 calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero ?

My thoughts: If I raise Fish 2 will definately call, as will Fish 1. Do I really want to be up against 2 opponents on the flop with 77? If I don't raise, I'll be up against 3. Is folding too weak?

Hand 2
Fish 1 is MP1, Fish 2 is BB
(UTG+1 has VPIP 23.3%, PFR: 5.4%, Agg 0.93 over 129 hands)
Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">UTG+1 raises</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero?

My thoughts: Pre-flop aggressor has high standards. Fish 2 will almost certainly see the flop so if I call I'll be up against 2 opponents with a difficult hand? Is this a fight I want? Is folding too weak?

Hand 3:
Fish 1 is MP2, Fish 2 is UTG
Preflop: Hero is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
Fish 2 calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Fish 1 calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero </font>?

My thoughts: I have a reasonable hand and good position, but is it good enough to raise and try to isolate the Fishies?
