    Tightening up screw holes

    Just about everything that screws into my boat is loose. A lot of the screws cannot be tightened up because the holes are worn and the threads wont grip. Has anyone used Marine Tex to fill screw holes and then re-drilled them? I'm curious if its too brittle after it dries to drill new holes so...

    Raising wobble roller assembly?

    Perhaps its time to replace some of those rollers. I purchased a bunch from Eastern Marine at $6.30 a piece (Yates) and after changing them out I now have to tye the bow cleat to the winch post just to remove the winch hook. Boat flies off the trailer (20'er). Not saying you don't properly...

    Docks at launch ramps?

    Does anyone have any information regarding the floating docks at Forge river and Port Jefferson ramps? Not sure if the town crews are placing them in the water do to the restrictions on 'necessary projects'.

    Saltwater jig tying vise

    So I have decided this was a great purchase, especially for a novice. Since I don't know what I'm missing using a much more expensive jig vise I'm more than satisfied with my $65 vise. Side note, it holds an 8/0 hook just fine. :-)

    Saltwater jig tying vise

    So I received the vise this week, it does use plastic as it's main building component. The height adjusting shaft is metal, as are the jaws that hold the hook. The jaws hold the hook tightly (that's the main thing). The C clamp is plastic (a bit of a concern), my opinion is this vise will work...

    Saltwater jig tying vise

    Thanks flounder joe, I decided to try the Riverruns II generations rotary fly tying vise ($65). I read it's uses a lot of plastic which turns a lot of people off but reviews say it uses metal where it counts (like the jaws) which will accommodate hooks up to 7/0 (and 8/0 I hope). For the cost I...

    Knots to bucktails

    it's always difficult to fish for Fluke in Moriches bay in the Springtime, there is just sooo much weed and of course slipgut. My experience has been it really has little effect what knot you tye or how you present your bucktail, that slipgut will wrap itself around everything it comes into...

    Knots to bucktails

    Why not just an anglers clip, theres room for extra jig movement and the benefit of easy on easy off.

    Saltwater jig tying vise

    I read a post from a member hoping for a little help with purchasing a vise to tye bucktail jigs (hooks as large as 5/0). He mentioned he didn't have much of a budget and was trying to find a decent entry level model that he could get started on. I looked at some of the suggestions and quite...

    Are they or are they not circle hook test.

    If the hook point doesn't bend in towards the shank I'm not sure how it can be called a circle hook.

    Aged meat?

    The Umai dry ageing bags are purposed for the regular Joe Schmo for at home use, I'm definitely not going to over think this. The videos I've watched are of regular guys using their home refrigerators (usually a 2nd fridge in the basement) for varying lengths to time and showing their results...

    Aged meat?

    It wont be for a couple of months but I'll let you know how it goes. Check out youtube 'dry aging beef', its pretty interesting stuff. To use the Umai bags you'll need a vacuum packer, really looking forward to giving this a shot!

    Aged meat?

    After doing some research I've found that more than a few trains of thought say, in their opinions, there is no significant benefit to aging primal cuts longer than 30-40 days. I have no basis to agree or disagree with this summation but feel 30 days or so is a good enough place to start. I'm...

    Crystal kitty litter beads?

    TonySmjc, thanks for that, I agree it was very interesting. Perhaps trying to save a few bucks on humidification should not be a priority. After all when you consider what we spend to fill your box with tasty, well seasoned cigars taking the best care of them should be my focus. In for a penny...
