Simple little fishing tips...post them up guys

[shore-power]

If you want to clean up old lures with trebble hooks or just clean your hard plastic lures in general throw them in a bucket of water and drop 2 or 3 efferdent denture cleaning tablets in the water and let them soak for a few hours or overnight if they are really dirty. Works great!

I think Capt. Lee might have gave me this tip awhile back?

How to rejuvenate hair lures

Treat the hair as if it were your own....

What if you have a perfect head like me

I just run a towel over it and I'm gone fishing.


In all seriousness. The Mane n Tail we use on the dogs works wonders for this.

Keep your live well from clogging by switching this clam shell with the over flow tube when done with fishing - makes it easy to net bait..........
If your fishing buddies do clog your live well in their haste to help.........use a Plumbers toilet plunger to force out dead, stuck baits.............ICM

[PLAN 9]

Wax all slick vertical surfaces on the boat, especially those under the gunwales at least once a year. Makes cleaning up blood and guts much easier.

Depending on where your horizontal supports on your t-top or hardtop are, you can cover with foam pipe insulation, zip-tie them tight and use for hook/fly/jig head storage. When they become torn inexpensive to replace.

Along with rubberbands zip ties are great to keep on the boat. Zipper repairs, reel seat repairs, loose wires......etc.

to add to plan 9's tip, also wax the interior of you fish boxes.

Take off your watch. The line can get caught on the watch as you are fighting a fish on conventional tackle. This is assuming your watch is on the hand you grip the rod with.

X-LARGE nail clippers work wonders all around the boat.

Always have a good pair of bolt cutters on board just incase someone gets a hook threw them.
