I'm not sure if this has been addressed before but I feel as though I have a plan.

I'm always surprised to see the number of fishermen fishing in marked swimming areas which result in a number of fishhook finds. I never know what to do with these hooks since I don't want to throw them in my finds pouch and get stuck. I usually get out of the water and find a trash can to throw them into. A few weeks ago I found a cork and thought man, I could put this in my finds pouch and stick the hooks in it as opposed to taking a chance of it sticking me.

Today it worked out.

Good luck out there.

Great idea but with my luck, it would float out of the pouch.....

I clean beaches to find these hooks and the cork is what I use but it is attached to the inside of the pouch so it doesn't float out. Took me longer than it should have to catch on. but it works.

Magnet in the bottom of pouch or in a zip lock shouldn't float and a little protection.
