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...

Hand sanitizer is effective as soon as it is evaporated from the skins surface. I know you meant ineffective.

I've heard that when stuck by a catfish barb, rubbing slime from the catfish on the wound takes the sting out. True or False? Probably an old wive's tale but I've tried it and it seemed to work. Might have been a "mental" thing. :-D Been told this my whole life as well. Would not recommen...

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. I always carry chewing tobacco for stings. us...
