Mackerel Trip in 2008
We will have a haywire twist machine at the meeting courtesy of Jerry Leuters along with all the supplies to tie rigs. So if you want to get a head start you can purchase the kits which consist of wire, hooks, skirts and swivels so you will be ready to go. We will show you how you can hand tie these as well and you will be able to make them at the
meeting. Also bring your questions and we will answer all so you will know everything you will need for a week of fish catching fun.
