Captain's Corner: Bottom fishing at its best (St. Petersburg Times)
**By Steve Papen, Times Correspondent**
Monday, April 23, 2012
**What's h**ot: Bottom fishing offshore in depths of 120-150 feet has been
pretty easy. Red grouper have been the main target on all of our trips. They
are stacked on every rolloff and pothole in these depths. Typically the larger
fish will be the first ones to eat and as the bite progresses the fish will
usually get smaller, until you catch a non-legal size fish. The biggest
problem at these depths is pesky red snapper. We have caught at least one true
20-pound class fish on every trip since grouper opened at the start of the
month.
**Tips:** The trick to targeting grouper has been big live baits, such as
grunts and large pinfish. Frozen sardines have been the old standby for red
grouper for years but these smaller, soft baits usually get inhaled before
reaching bottom.
**Different tricks:** Artificial baits such as large buck-tails and butterfly
jigs have been getting even the most picky fish to bite. These baits draw a
reaction strike. Drop the rig to the bottom and work it upward in a pretty
fast motion to mimic a baitfish trying to get away. ...
What size Crochet hook would be used with medium 4 yarn?
I'm a beginner with Crochet. I bought 12 skiens of yarn and would like to begin a project. Everyone tells me make swatches. surely sommeone must know the most appropriate hook size for No. 4 Medium yarn.
There's a handy chart for that (http://www.yarnstandards.com/weight.html ). There are also handy charts for converting from the recommended hooks (and knitting needles) in UK patterns and those printed in the US/Canada, and this one contains a list of abbreviations and links to other helpful information (http://www.yarnstandards.com/weight.html ).
The ball-band of the yarn will recommend a hook size, and the Yarn Standards chart will recommend a range of hook sizes--for Category 4, the sizes recommended are I, J, and K (5.5 to 6.5 mm).
However, the reason everyone tells you to make swatches is that no two crocheters have exactly the same tension on the yarn, and crocheters tend to develop their own techniques for stitching. In addition, there is often a big difference between yarns in the same category. For example, you may pick up a skein of Caron Simply Soft and a skein of Vanna's Choice and notice that they are both in Category 4--but there is a big difference in the size of the yarn.
Patterns are going to be constructed to meet a certain gauge--the number of stitches and the number of rows that it took to create the project in the finished size on the hook used. If you crochet tighter than that, your finished project will come out smaller if you use the same hook. If you crochet looser, it will be larger and you may run out of yarn before finishing. So: what's the "correct" size for you with your yarn will have to be determined by your finding the hook that will let you duplicate the gauge of the original project.
