I am shocked, but I think we lost Saltheart

Prompted by another thread, I left a message for Mike, and when to google his address to swing by later today.

I ran across his obituary. We have lost Mike White. I am truly sorry to read this. He died February 15th

Sad news. He took me the first time I ever fished the canal. I had asked a question on SOL about the canal stating I would be in the area and was going to try fishing there. He PMed me and we met up. Gave me a bunch of round jig heads he poured. He wrapped two rods for me and when people see them, I still get complements on them.

Very sad to hear. I finally got to meet Mike just a month or so ago when he came by to pick up a used lathe. Glad I had the opportunity to meet him. Very sad he is gone. Rest in peace Mike.

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I met mike a couple years ago when he hosted the rod building class. What a great guy, super helpful. You will be missed mike. I had a great talk with him at TFCTFN a few years back.

Everything is better on the rocks.

Wow that is terrible. I've been on this site 10 years now. Hard to imagine him not being here as I can remember his posts from some of my first days on here. He's was always very nice and helpful. Really sad. Thought and prayers to his family and friends. R.I.P.

Wow, hard to believe

I meet mike a few years ago doing the rod building class with some fellow sb members.

Mike was always helpful, on this site and the rod building forum on the other site.

Never got to fish with him as his health was an issue last season.

Another great all around knowledgable fisherman gone too soon.

RIP Mike

OMG I'm shocked. He's way to young to be gone. What a nice guy we've lost, way too soon like many before him.
Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends.
One of the originals on this site, I actually found this site because of him way back around 14-15 years ago. very sad news

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.

That sucks. I only know him from posts, and that he was a greatly respected angler and rod builder. RIP

something clever and related to fishing

What a shame, he was such a nice guy and fun to fish with, always willing to share what he knew. RIP my friend, you will be missed.
