Circle hooks are OK. I use them when I'm fishing with more then one pole and won't have time to set the hook myself. But this time I was using a kahle, as usual, but wasn't planning on getting so many calls. The thing I don't like about circles is you CAN'T set the hook with 'em, if you try it just pulls it right out of the fishes mouth. I'm not used to seeing my rod bent in half and not setting the hook, you know?
Yeah, I snapped a pole once with a monster yellow cat and my drag on all the way. After that I became more drag conscious (spl?) then anyone I know. Just figured out how to use the bait clicker on my new spincaster (first one), so this ought to be interesting.
The more I look at maps of Seattle/Kent/Tacoma, the more excited I am about moving up there! There are lakes/ponds/rivers EVERYWHERE! and they are all fishable. Christ, that is going to be fucking heaven....now if only it wasn't so fucking cold...have to get me some subarctic gear! Be the only idiot on the water with a furlined jacket and ski mask on when it's 50 degrees out! lol
