Ask Dr.Science...

I am gonna do a little experimentation.

I will stick a hook through a mackerel chunk.
shove that into a plastic mesh basket or eel trap, and drop it near my fishin whole.

I'll check on it regularly and we can see how long it takes for that hook to rust through.

This will be tidalriver/saltmarsh.

No salinity measurement though.


Anyone got an eel trap handy to add to the data sample?
Maybe hang a hook off your mooring and check on it to see how quick it rusts away?

There is a fine line that seperates a fisherman from a fool standing in water swinging a stick.

will cook for food
...and plugs
