seastrike Hey Man....It's cool... Registered: 08/18/02 Posts: 4242 Loc: seattle	So I know one of you guys knows the answer to this... How long ago did netters stop using cedar floats? I found this near the mouth of the Hoh yesterday in some back water. I thought it was a pretty cool find. Attachments

milt roe Spawner Registered: 01/22/06 Posts: 917 Loc: tacoma	Cool - I have some of those from the 1960's that my folks got for free when they were changing out to the foam/plastic floats. This was down at the Tacoma commecial fishing fleet area by Johnny's dock (when it used to be down on the Port of Tacoma). So I doubt they made too many more after that, but I'm sure people kept using them. Tribes probably longer since they seem to go with what they have rather than what the latest gear is. Junk turns into treasure with time...

seastrike Hey Man....It's cool... Registered: 08/18/02 Posts: 4242 Loc: seattle	A commercial fisherman (bristol bay) friend of mine just said probably WWII or before. It was still floating when I found it. I'll admit it's not as cool as Vhawks rock. Edited by seastrike (01/27/08 04:16 PM)

LoweDown Conquistador Registered: 08/07/06 Posts: 1759 Loc: Forks, WA	I thought it was "spanking the monkey" or "choking the chicken" or "throttling the clown" but "mulling it over" is a new one.
