Don't want to put you out Mr. Wire. If I see hi me on the pier today, I'll check with Doug West first, then I'll try Brunsons today and if that doesn't work, you can have at it. Thanks.

Thanks everyone. Brunson will tie it for me. He merely removes the center braid for afoot, then uses a Large fid and feeds it inside itself like any other woven rope. Piece of cake!

Thanks everyone. Brunson spliced it at the net then the bouy end and then stitched it for extra security. Did a great job and only charged me $4. I'll definitely take things there first next time. Thanks for all the advice to "get 'er done".

This Thanksgiving, I'm thankful for an abundant fishery and a magnificent pier, from which to access that fishery. I'm thankful for the morning view of the sunrise and what a spectacular view it is...
Happy Thanksgiving!
