Heat

The heat of the day is keeping me off the water.

That and rain.

Or lightning.

Ok, I confess.... I've just been OFF the water.

But at least I've taken care of some surf chores...specifically, getting some old fiberglass surf rods restored by a local maker/restorer, Tom K. One of my favorites is below




This is an old (I'm told) Lamiglass blank which Tom completely stripped down, added cork tape, new guides, and did a masterful job of restoring. Thrown in the deal was a Penn Peerless #9 reel.

This was my father in law's favorite rod for the surf or pier. For pier, it was for throwing gobs of bloodworm out for bass or preferably and more likely weakfish!
