My wife put a little too much dough in the mixer and melted this plastic arm that is tied to the speed control. Need to find a replacement part. Hopefully there isn’t more damage but I tested it and it still works.
I am not a patch collector for the most part but I am currently in the hunt and don’t know where to begin. I am looking for roughly 3”x2” pvc patches of fish and wildlife from California. Specifically our local gamefish from in and around the Channel Islands and land animals such as quail and bobcat and the like. I’m also not opposed to general and generic patches based around the outdoors/ hunting and fishing.
Is there anyone company out there that would carry these?
It seems like my searches constantly lead me to companies that want to sell me bulk custom patches. I’m not really looking to buy multiples of the same patch for all these different species we have. But maybe this is the way to go.
I don’t want anything too bulky, deep, or wide. Just need it for my phone, keys, glasses, and a few other small items. I do not need any tackle storage. It will be used for wading in the surf while bowfishing. Staying clear of my drawstring and resisting saltwater splashes are the key features I’m looking for.
Back before my first taste of surf fishing, I use to fish in warm smelly freshwater. One of my favorite lures was the buzz baits. I loved watching bass dart out of docks or brush and smash them.
I was hunting for striper last night and there was a lot of salad in the water, making working the jerkbait and paddle tails difficult. I ended up mostly throwing a pencil popper and that kept the hooks mostly weed free. But the wave action was up and the lure would easily get rolled in the whitewater without having much time to pop in the calmer stuff.
So, how do you feel about buzz baits in the surf? Does anyone here have experience using them? And has anyone caught a striper with one. Bonus if you did it on the west coast.
A first for me! I have caught brown and blue cabbies. This one is red. Thought it was a sculpin at first. Even red inside the mouth.
Excuse me if it’s been covered. I tried to research but found limited answers. I am looking to buy a KC welder. I understand Hobie has its issues and are trying to claw their way back but can I still purchase this? Do I need to go through a distributor? Or are there better options? I keep seeing Polyvance in my searches, is this decent? I want to stay away from the Harbor freight one due to the tip not holding up.
Also, my kayak is slate blue. Can I find those rods anywhere? Or does anyone know of a product that matches that color well? My searches led me to one particular site and I’m not too sure about ordering from them do to uncertainties.
Taking a day trip out to Avalon with the family. I plan on bringing some rods. I’d be bringing a 2-piece rod and a couple 8’ rods. Am I going to be able to store them some place where they won’t get damaged or be in the way? Should I get a hard case? Thinking of putting the reels in a bag and the rods in a PVC pipe with some caps from Home Depot, or is this not necessary?
I know Philip Freedman sometimes gives reports on which harbors have live bait, but I am having trouble finding which platform he does it on and how often.
Is there a website I can go to so that I can see what each harbor is holding without having to call each place or having to wait to stumble across Philips report.
Inspector wrote in a report to bond gas and water in Garage. I was sent here with no more information than that. This is what I find. The gas meter is on the backside of this closet and has its yellow bond wire but it’s curiously wrapped around the gas pipe. It comes out of the dirt and loops back into the dirt.
I’m thinking that if the gas outside is bonded. And I bond the gas inside the closet to the cold water pipe at the top, then I should be good?
What do you think?
I have to change out a bunch of old MR-16 bulbs for new LED bulbs. I am also going to disconnect the old transformer and install a new 12v LED driver for each one. Easy peasy, right? I go to dig around in the first one and I discover that the genius who installed them, never pulled the cotter pins that hold the j-box lid shut!
Now what? Anyone have any tricks? Flathead screwdriver and pry? Might need to find some guys with small hands.
