    Help identify brackets

    First, I haven't been on here in years. It's so nice to be back. :D I picked up a 1980 Valco. I was wondering what the 2 vertical brackets are that are beside the handles. Thanks

    Car Battery to collect night crawlers?

    I seen in the March issue of Field and Stream that you can take 2 copper rods, place them in the ground about 3 feet apart and hook to a car battery using jumper cables. This is suppose to bring up the worms. Is this something that is worth trying?

    Another oil rig explodes.

    I don't think the sea life can handle another oil spill. https://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_gulf_rig_explosion

    Unknown reel

    I had gotten this reel with a bag of parts given to me. I've never seen on like it. It is an open bait caster but it has no release button. What are these type of reels used for. I figure it isn't much cause it has "Japan" stamped on the bottom. I can post a pic if needed.

    Fillet question...

    First I'm sorry if this is in the wrong place. I wasn't sure where to post it. Its not really a fillet question as much as a question about the left overs. What do you guys do to dispose of the rest of the fish once you have your fillets?

    5.5 Evinrude Lower end question

    I'm needing to replace the impeller on my 64' (I think) 5.5 Evinrude. I can not seem to get the lower unit off to access the water pump. I have the 4 bolts out. But it seems to be still hooked to something. I remember my old 65hp Mercury just sliding right off but this one won't.

    Clinton outboards? updated with pics.

    I was just given a small outboard to hopefully fix up for a future tin project. I was told it was a 5 hp and it ran 15 years ago. :? If anything it would be fun just to tinker with. So I started checking it out and its a Clinton model J 8 serial# 42963. I did some research and believe it to be...
