I haven’t had the opportunity to meet too many folks on here in person but my dealings with most of the people here have been great. I have learned a lot from posts on here be it fishing technique, builds or occasionally even what not to do. It’s a cool amalgamation of people from different backgrounds and philosophies with a strong common interest. Makes it fun. The people I have gotten the opportunity to fish with are incredible and I’m glad to call them friends. I hope to fish with more of you.
Roc, your threads have been really informative and saved me a lot of trial and error this year. Thank you. Good luck with the whites this weekend.

Couple quick questions regarding the finish on your traps. Got the BLO part, that's on all the wood, yes? Assuming the paint part is oil based so it sticks. Can't imagine a latex wearing well over the BOL. I could be wrong on that.

My biggest curiosity if the Flexseal part. This adheres well over the BOL and holds up submerged in freezing water? Dipped, painted or sprayed? If true I may have a use for that application.

After BLO  application,  I give them 3 coats of spar urethain,then the upright gets painted
. Yes oil base .
. As for the flex se it stays pretty darn good, I found spraying g to be more economical. It wears and chafes about the same as pl sint does on the lower half,the longer it sits the tougher it seems to get,my traps have 3 seasons on  them, they will need a touch up when i.lut them away

I actually took this picture  this morning,  there are 3 seasons of wear on those.. one thing, sand no finer than 120, wipe with alcohol two or three thin coats.

Good luck Joe.  Guys like you and Frank are hard to come by in a sea full of snitches.

Search for the legend of the pink flamingo continues.....

In my journey 3000 miles south in search of this creature, I came across Franks long lost peeps.


^^^^A proud pink parade here. I interviewed the lead, he said they march in solidarity with the Northern division.


^^^^And of course, like my buddy frank, I met the variation in captivity. Jail, if you will.

FREE the Flamingo!!!!

Hopefully he gets paroled soon.
