Cast net

Sharing "how to" ideas is one of Kirk's gifts. He loves to show people an easier way to get something accomplished, built or fixed. It may not always work or be accepted but he is there to help in any way he can.

Some of the items that arrive at his door to be repaired or improved upon are interesting. Yesterday he was working on a homemade gadget that helps let the fishing nets into the water. It was made of a frying pan, car wheel and 2" iron pipe. All these items are very heavy. (It is something you have to see to believe). His job was to make this thing shorter/lighter in weight. At this point, I'm not sure if this was accomplished.

This leads to fishing and catching fish. One thing Kirk is good at is catching bait with his cast net. We have gone fishing many a time in Florida, only to catch bait and lots of it. Kirk introduced his net and use of it to the new customer/friend, Brian. Brian, who is an elected official on the First Nation council was very interested in this new method. I would have thought this is something all fishermen would know about. Guess I'm wrong again, it was new to him. Kirk let him have one of his old nets to practice and play with. I'm sure they will be getting together again soon to exchange more ideas.
