I use light wire circle hooks for drift fishing and bottom fishing in the
Bay. I've always got a rod handy for sight fishing or to cast a lure into
a pod of breaking fish, but on those lures I do not use circle hooks. Gave
up trolling for fish years ago. I just can't tolerate the mindlessness of
it.


Sure doesn't seem like much of a 'sport'.
Throw out a line & hook... drive boat around slowly until some hapless fish
gets snagged.
......... and people say watching sailboat racing is
boring....................
