View Full Version : Ever Cleaned Your Slippery Perch In The Surf?
nightfighter 09-06-2011, 05:14 PM I have a couple favorite fall spots I like to stand on. They are pretty slick. more so this year. Reading a thread somewhere on cleaning lobster traps got me thinking..... Anyone used a little diluted bleach to help with more stable footing on your favorite rock?

in all seriousness, THumper is correct.. Guys bleach the end of a couple of the breachways.. Usually its the old pharts who are too cheap to buy spikes.. :)
zimmy 09-07-2011, 12:02 PM Guys bleach the end :)
Some juvi's reported that Michael Jackson did that, too.

By a few, you mean every time you go fishing, right? :smash:
Rockport24 09-07-2011, 01:26 PM That works huh? If it's slick, it's because its below the high water mark and the slime would just build up after the next tide, wouldn't it?
piemma 09-07-2011, 02:35 PM I know a few guys here that do it. No names.:faga:
shadow 09-07-2011, 02:48 PM i have given plenty of rocks haircuts....to much bubbleweed just cut it of with a knife.
nightfighter 09-07-2011, 04:46 PM Our Montauk transplant had a good idea.... Lay a sacrificial towel on the spot you want to stand and soak it with the cut bleach. The towel will hold it in place longer to burn the crap away.
North Shore crew; Castle was weedy and the waves were nasty already from 4-5. And high isn't until 8.... Took one in the ear that convinced me to come off those rocks. Looked perfect too... Not a hit... Take a good look before you hit that area tonight.....
