Time for a Lead Pour

[GregE]

OK off-shore fisher folks- let's try this again.

Many have access to clean lead and some have molds etc.  Let's see if we can't get a place and day to get together.  Past events have always been a great time to meet Arima owners and share stories and plans.

Who's on first?? 

[gliderflyer]

I can't host but if the date allows, I'll show up with extra lead, propane and pizza money.

[Yachter Yat]

    Okay Greg....you've been askin' for it long enough.  So, take your medicine.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sShMA85pv8M

I hadn't seen the full episode in many years- but I Don't Care What's on 2nd but Who's on First   

Now back to our regularly scheduled discussion .....

[davidsea]

   It's a great meet-up with a bunch of entertaining crazies, PLUS a mini-swap meet.  Let's do this!

[fishmeister]

I don't have a huge amount of lead, but I do have some.  My bigger problem is that I'm a bit farther north than most.  Driving 2+ hours (or more) just isn't in the cards for me.

But, if something is happening "in my neck of the woods", count me in!   

[GoodDays]

I will keep in the loop on this one ! Retirement in 3 weeks !!!  An Arima road trip to visit the American Cousins  might be in the cards

GoodDays Greg

[davidsea]

   I'm in the Edmonds/Shoreline area.  If we have a meet-up down South somewhere, I'd be happy to drive from here for a carpool.

[GregE]

I have some 2 and 3# cod weight molds some hardware.  I' been looking for 18 and/ or 20# downrigger weight molds but they are $300 + so unless you are marketing completed weights-  no go.

[fishmeister]

Anything further on this?

[Rowland84]

I've got lead and a burner. Let's make this happen spring is here!

[Rifleman]

Still need a host and date......

  

[Rifleman]

  OK, I'll bite.
 How about Saturday, May 4th. I have enough tables. I have limited parking, will arrange for parking across street. I live in Purdy (Gig Harbor). If this works PM for address.  Rifleman

[GregE]

YES!!!   

I'm IN

I've 3 molds- 2 & 3# cod weights and pyramid bottom sinker.  Some eyes for heavy DR weights, bronze cotter pins and treble hooks for copper pipe jig, about 30# lead,  A large pan to melt lead, MId size melting pot and ladel,  2 burner propane stove.

Along with leather gloves and vest, eye protection, breathing protection and SAFETY attitude.

POst what you have to bring/ share.  NO wet lead- if it's not clean and dry don't bring it.  BEtter yet do a cleaning melt at home Slowly-  Lead splashes can mess you up.

NEED:  Large melting pot and ladle.  cardboard and/ or thin wood sheets to catch drips.  SAFETY gear and ATTITUDE!!  More burners, Propane tanks.  LEAD and MOLDS with eyes, hooks etc

This will be a Great time to meet some Arima folks, share the work and stories.  COst will be prorated by what you use - what you donate.

[GregE]

PIcture to show how we've set things up previously.  Bring your excess boat and fishing stuff and some $$  BOAT prevails

It's a great meet-up with a bunch of entertaining crazies, PLUS a mini-swap meet.  Let's do this!

[Rifleman]

     The march 2022 lead pour thread has a lot of info on what we may have and what is needed. Fishbio had a nice collection of molds, hooks and eyes if I remember correctly. I will have clean lead and a 15lb downrigger finned mold and eyes. Also a canopy and a fan for ventilation. Tables, chairs, cooling board for product.
    Who (how many) can make it?  Rifleman

[2Steelhead]

I would definitely like to attend. I can bring propane tanks or whatever is needed. Saturday the 4th of May, correct?

[Rifleman]

  That is correct. Start time 9:00 - 10:00 or so.  PM me for address. Rifleman

[GregE]

Alright!!

Even if you don't need lead items- I'll be bringing a Lot of items to tempt you. 
Come to meet folks and share some stories.   Snacks welcome   

[GregE]

The last Lead Pour gathering was on the bank of Hood Canal hosted by Joe, Crackerbox.  Beautiful spot, nice gathering.

We need molds-  If you can't attend would you loan them out?

[Rifleman]

  So far Greg and 2steelhead have mentioned that they are interested in this Saturday's pour. I have a finned mold and eyes. will set up a canopy to keep any rain drops out of the lead and have a cooling board.
   Anybody else? Let me know so I can give parking instructions if needed.

[Batsquatch]

I don't need any lead poured however would you mind if I showed up, met some of you (finallY), and possibly bring some fishing tackle for a swap-meet like event?  With retirement and relocation in my semi-near future, my boating will temporarily come to an end.  My fishing tackle needs will change drastically so I'm sure that I have saltwater gear that someone may be interested in.
In any case, I'd like to drop by and say hi.  I'll PM for the address.
Thanks,
Jeff

[GregE]

Military squatch? I speak a little Hooah

Folks- really hoping to share this opportunity. C'mon down!  Door 3, or I'll take Arima gear with a side of lead for $200 Alex
