Island Tackle (Port Aransas)

While on the Texas Gulf Coast last year, stopped by the Island Tackle Store and bought circle hooks.  Really liked them but never wrote down the brand name.  Went back this year, bought more circle hooks, and this time took a picture of the brand name so as not to forget.  The brand name is Fishtamer Hooks.  Great value with the same quality as more expensive brands!

The 3/0 size works well for using Bread for bait when Catfish fishing but is a little on the small size for those Bruisers lurking in the community lakes and ponds.  This time went with the 6/0 size... It worked well for hooking up on the little Shark we caught from the surf earlier this week.  Suspect it will work well on a few Bruiser Catfish, too!
