La Jolla 3-30-15 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Just wanted to set the record straight. After looking at my gear the hooks to blame were not Mustad they were Gamakatsu octopus circle hooks. After looking at them at the store it seem as all the Gamakatsu hooks are thinner. All the other brands when the hook uses that thin a wire they call them "lights or thin wire". I got some Owner Mutu Circle hooks and can't wait to go use them. The weather is not co-operating with the wind. Looks like Tuesday might be the best day before I go back to work. Also picked up a new rod to replace the broken one I had tried to fix. Ready to pull some more Yellows and get the deck and me all bloodied.
