Met Saltheart at work probably in 1997 or 8. As everyone mentioned, he was a levelheaded thinking man and I found him to be a mentor in all things metal. I mentioned surf fishing to him and next thing I find I am leaving for the canal at 3AM to meet him to fish. After a couple of trips I find myself spending days on the WMI message board and later transitioning to S-B. Fished on and off with Mike for years, went sailing with him where he earned the title Captain Ring Ding from my wife and had an overall good time. He taught me to wrap rods, tie flies and fish the ditch. He has built a rod for me, repaired several and helped me build one and helped me put diamond wraps on my boys Martial Arts equipment. He was influential to me in fishing and in life and I will miss him greatly.
