    Melted/cleaned the last if the wheel weights from Pep-Boys, for 2022. Came out to 25 pounds. Over the winter I plan on getting some saltwater jigs, for fluke.

    Newbie with an Odd Catch

    Welcome aboard. I once was on a creek and found 2 baby ducks tangled in line. Took about 5-10 mins. to free them. Meanwhile the mom was dive bombing me.

    Fluke

    My brother-in-law and I went to Manasquan inlet again yesterday. Fished about 4 1/2 hours. I caught 11 he caught 5, didn't even have to gring out the tape measure (all shorts). He did have what I think was a ray, that spooled 1/2 his line. Hope to get one more trip in this season.

    Fishing buddy??

    Well come November I will welcome my 4th grand-child. As of now 1 girl & 2 boys, non of which like fishing. My daughter who fishes with me whenever she can, is having a baby boy. Hopefully Zane will be my future fishing bud. Other wise the daughter gets left a whole lot of fishing related stuff...

    Repairs

    Nice Job!! I have some othe pieces of blanks somewhere. I trash picked a broken saltwater rod last time out, It's going to make a good reamer. I can't seem use masking tape to hole guides, so I bought bands from Mudhole now no worries. I even test cast with little weight before wrapping.

    Making lures

    Guess I would use 3/8 to 1/2 oz. Fishing the inlet tides I'd still weight from the braid. Buying on it would proably be the top oneIf someone was close I'd trade lead for the use of a mold.
