The global cooling was so bad in the 60s, that we had snow drifts 6'-8' deep in La Mesa, took me an hour to hike 3 blocks to Murray....and that was in July....and it was uphill both ways!camobass wrote: Tue Apr 23, 2024 7:33 pmIs that when you walked to school and back miles up hill in the snow?Mcfish wrote: Tue Apr 23, 2024 1:46 pmI thought I invented the finishing nail for weighting worms back in '65 ! I use to split shot my plastics worms and when I ran out of split shots, I couldn't afford more so I raided my dad's workbench and stuck the finishing nails in my Creme worms. I would hacksaw the nails in half and get a 2 for 1 deal... until I could afford more split shots..! Thankfully, I can afford split shots now!bendopolo 44+ wrote: Tue Apr 23, 2024 8:01 am In heavy cover, try a small finishing nail slipped into the worm behind the hook. With a Texas rigged hook it is virtually snag free and is smooth so it goes thru the algae. Very inexpensive little trick from the 70s when I listened intently to the Bass Pros in my Dads Fishing Club, the Fullerton Spinners.
