  hello everyone i live in the sanjuaquin valley of california. I have only been keeping bees for three years and still have a lot to learn. Have been snooping around for a few days since i heard about you folks from RIVERRAT and i would like to be a part of your forum so i can learn more. I have ten hives at present and am going to grow my apiary to about twenty-five .

Hey rodmaker, glad you checked in.
You're in, you don't have to ask!  ;)
We're a friendly bunch here, we like to discuss all things bee, and have fun while doing it. Winter's here so we get a little shack wacky at times.
Listening to RIVERRAT?  :o  Well, we won't hold that against ya.  :D

Hiya Rev, glad you're here too.  ;)
Like LazyBkpr, I'm wondering if Rodmaker perhaps makes fishing poles in his spare time maybe?

Think that was Shooter, but irrelevant since I want to know too..  I need a couple RIVER rods with roller tips...  River fishing is fine with wally world poles, till you hook into a real fish...  I manage to break about one wally world pole a year, and have stopped buying cheap reels.. three years worth of cheep reels buys me one reel that lasts six years or more. Those I can get, its the rods I struggle with..  My Pa lives in the keys for winter, but usually the big open water poles are too long..  need an 8 ft pole, roller tip, with a heavy baitcaster reel...
  Theres nothing like sitting beside the fire talking with friends, and hearing the clicker start ticking from the darkness beyond the fire...  Or,
   Theres nothing like drifting off to sleep in the boat, feet up, listening to the river talk to you, and waking up to that clicker....

 click, click,click.....  silence...       click, click..... silence...     ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ  YEEEHAW!!!!

   Then the tip of your pole breaks off and the 40 LB Big game line shreds over the eyelet when you try to hold despite the broken tip.....     :'(

   Sorry.. off topic.....    :hijack:   I blame it on cabin fever!!    Back to the regularly scheduled program!!!!

Still off topic...

A Mitchell Conolon 9 foot rod, a Peen 703 real, and sewing thread brings in the 30 and forty lb. Spoonbills. Caught a many of them when I lived up next to you.








PS. Ever see the 6 and 8 inch wide nylon slings used with cranes for lifting very large items? They are sewn together with 125 Lb. test nylon sewing thread.  It sure is fun to catch a 35 pounder and tell people you caught it with sewing thread.

Oh.. I LOVE spoonbill!!!  Put a plate of spoonbill and Cat side by side, Id probably wet myself trying to choose!!!     No, I'd take the spooner!
   Snagged a few of them in the past, getting harder and harder to do.. too many people now.. Used to be youd go to the good spots and meet one other guy there. NOW, theres twenty five people casting, and a game warden standing in the background watching.... The SNagged Carp are excellent if smoked...  But there again...  wally world rods aren't really up to the task..
  I have tried braided line, never tried sewing thread... That would be interesting!!

      Thank you to all. to those that asked yes i do make custom rods in my spare time. I have built stand up tuna rods, marlin rods ,fly rods, trout and salmon rods. I like to place a good decorative rap on all rods i build and will even put the owners name on it woven in thread. Have to do something until spring. I pretty much will build any rod someone wants just need to know what type and size and action desired.
