Happy With Sealing Method!
Fished Cuttyhunk with Afterhours Thursday/Friday. While we were there fishing, Don hooked a lobster pot line in the water and pulled it up! Attached to the line was one of my Big Mouth Poppers that I lost when we were there 5 or 6 weeks ago! So after all that time in the water I was quite pleased to note a few things.....naturally the plug was going to be pretty worn....almost all the paint was gone, the nose of the plug was pretty beat, only one eye was missing and the belly grommet was still intact. Most impressive was the fact that there was no swelling of the wood and no cracking at all......boiled linseed oil and mineral spirits is great sealer!
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

that's what I thought too,
I am going to be adopted by Eskimos so I can legally take seals for consumption

glad to hear your plug help up well larry, but what is with someones' trap being left in the water for 5-6 weeks at a time without being checked or was it just a line with no trap?
I hate when those pots are right up close to fishy waters.
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

uH, Karl. I hear a 222 Hornet is a great way. Small hole and just a tinge of blood. Of course we are talking head shots here. Personally a winter seal hunting season from the beach only would be a great way to spend a chilly morning! Spotting scope set up on the dune ridge at Highland light or Marconi. Pfft! one shot one kill and another seal sinks slowly in the east. You can only dream.... sigh.........mmm.....
Why even try.........
