Hey what surf fishing forum and is there any good info for around here? I love the surf fishin'.I was on another Surf fishing forum and they were all talking about Hatteras and Sputnik weights for fishing rocky and sandy surf. I surfed the web and found those spendy little beggars!
Major problem, I am really cheap when it comes to the sacrifices of gear to the Fishing Gods!!! So, the solution... my handy, dandy sinker molds and some copper wire. I ground out a few slots to hold the wire, then poured the sinkers. Mine may not look as good as the store bought, but they are a whole lot cheaper. They also seem to work fairly well in the light rocks... the 'legs' hold the sinker and keep it from falling between the rocks... when stuck, the 'legs' bend and allow the sinker to release from obstructions.
I will keep playing with the concept and post some pix when I perfect it a little more!
ok so i have just gotten fascintated with fishing the ocean from either the shore or the cliffs... heres the thing- lots of lost tackle which gets expensive. i decided to try using a golf ball as a weight- turn out it seems to work really well. its didn't get stuck even once. however, i was runnig it right next to my jig (when i get frustrated i do all sorts of crazy stuff) i think i was still getting bites, just not able to hook anything.
i have also heard a lot of people use spark plugs.
if you have any other creative ideas i'd love to hear them.
Hmmm bags of sand for weights? I like it! Also I've thought of just using mason bits to drill holes in rocks and use them for weights.
I know you can drill rocks some are harder than others and it could take some time and burn up some bits. So my thought is to epoxy eyelets to some rocks.??? Or maybe use the stockings with rocks.
