I went to the local bowling ally and they told me they had just thrown away 60 plus bowling balls. Said I could have had all I wanted. I explained to the guy at the pro shop what they were being used for and he said to stay away from the lighter balls as some of them have light cores and will not sink.


In Dog Beers, I've had one.

does the 'sputnik' catch a lot of hooks if you fish near them?

Looks like it might, but i have no experience in such matters

axis, it's not as near as bad as you think. I've only lost one lure in 3 years and that's because the fish wrapped the line around it.

Welcome to PB! What suburb if I may ask? I know some people in those parts.

Good to hear. Kicking around design ideas for PVC based locators. This one looks intriguing.

Homer Glen. West of Orland Park. I fish a strip mine in a Campground in Wilmington that is rather devoid of structure, and too acidic to just drop trees.

I've got a buddy in Tinley, and just last Thursday night I met him and another buddy at Outback on Harlem for dinner.
