Comment by John Sheehan on July 1, 2014 at 6:04am: I like your thinking PT!

Comment by Papa Turner on July 1, 2014 at 5:25am: Good idea we have several small wineries in the area. But what fun is that besides I usually buy local Maryland wine. Just trying to support the local community.

Comment by Keith Ritter on June 30, 2014 at 4:47pm: Great float Papa, go to your local winery or anywhere they have wine tastings and ask for the used corks. They will give or sell you really cheap the used corks. The synthetic corks work well too.

Comment by Papa Turner on June 30, 2014 at 4:02pm: Yeah these catch fish as well as the store bought ones and are quick to make. I put a strip of orange duct tape around the top makes it easier to see. But the best part is drinking the wine so I can use the cork!

Comment by John Sheehan on June 30, 2014 at 1:39pm: if it catches lots of fish and doesn't lose too many ,stick with it . I haven't made any floats so hats off to you .

Comment by Papa Turner on June 30, 2014 at 12:24pm: I might try sanding the next cork bobber. But I find these cast well and seem to float just fine.
