never have myself. but heck I caught fish on the "Walking Worm" back when it was a out

I have no personal vendetta towards anyone.


Hope your healing up well Gary.

Tight lines fellas.

Went out to bald point today. Wind was coming from the bay and made it more a subtle tide than a high tide. Saw some promising signs though, and broke in the new cast net. Will hit it again this week and see whats shaking.

I don't have to verify anything nor will I. I have done things most wouldn't in places you will never see. This started from splitting hairs on best wound treatments on a fishing forum and than the medical heads went after one another. lets just take a minute to breathe and realize we are all right ...

whatever you say

HighonFlats,
Appreciate your service (Navy vet myself) and your training as a corpsman.

OneFish and Salty Gator are both practicing veterinarians with years of medical training and experience. Granted, they work on animals and not people but many common prescriptions and practices apply to both ...

Been told this my whole life as well. Would not recommend ...

I keep betadine solution for flushing out wounds, doesn’t sting, works very well and relatively stable. I try to remember bleach for stings ( got hit by a leatherjacket once and bleach slowed the throbbing), but that reminds me that I need a new bottle.
