What's with the hooks?

[Tarpon4me]

Hey, thanks for the hook info. It's been kinda heck-tick getting everything together. I don't think South Coast fisherman go through an "off season," it stays pretty warm year around. Here, you go through a drought for about 3 or 4 months, depending on when mother nature decides to get her crap together and warm it back up. We have 4 entire months to sit and think about what we need, what to do different that we did wrong, what to keep doing that we did right, sit and gloat over the new equipment we've bought and can't use yet, plan our first fishing trip of the season, clean and prep all the rods and reels, make riggs, and all the other fun stuff. I take my rigs VERY serious, and hooks are a large part of it, unfortunately, so is price. So, i'm at a crossroads. It might just be best for me to wait until payday and take my butt to Bass pro up the road and buy the equipment in person. I'm also looking for a good 25lb class line, and I was considering Yo Zuri Hybrid until Tubn2 expressed how bad the memory was. I might just have to go back to old faithful Berkely Big Game. My next trick is to order all the nav/land/fish charts for the local waters that I fish. I'm going to hang the charts in my bedroom(my wife is going to love that[cool]) and plot the trips based on structure, water depth, and location VIA GPS; when I figure out what GPS to get. My feelings are that using a detailed fishing log in conjunction with Nav Maps so you can not only record your results, but mark it on the map, will prove to be helpful. Especially tagging fish, you might even learn migratory patterns, feeding and bedding locations, thier route of travel, etc... It might be possible to track a fish species so well that you'd know exactly where and when they'd be at a location. It may take a couple of years to achieve this far fetched capability, but it won't be for lack of trying.
