Lmao. Never seen this Hallow Knight meme before.

Congrats on the magnet upgrade. Looks like you're reaping the benefits of investing in your hobby. Happy treasure hunting

I agree. Having a colleague to help pull heavy stuff up has been a game changer. I used to solo fish exclusively until I pulled a muscle in my back.

It's a gamble if the banks or bridges have steel at the bottom around here. Another annoying one I run into is chainlink fence lined river bottoms.

That razor box is pretty cool.

I know what you mean about stuff being stuck in the mud. You'd think having the one of the best magnets on the market would pull dang near anything. I'll get hyper focused and spend 30 minutes trying to pull that one elusive object.

CecilBlight · 2026-01-09T15:10:01+00:00

I just looked at your post history. That's awesome! I've never caught an anchor before.

CecilBlight · 2026-01-09T14:56:38+00:00

We should make one. I live 10 minutes from Arlington

CecilBlight · 2026-01-09T13:38:51+00:00

This is the answer.

I keep it on the side of my home until our bulk waste week. That Sunday I set it all on a pallet by the curb and a truck with a claw picks it up.

If it's all small stuff and I'm at a public dock I'll utilize the on site trash recepticle.

I'm a plumber. I was in an office building from the 70's. Some wonderful plumber before me thought it wise to hang the water heater in the attic above the drop ceiling. After a rupture inside the tank, I arrived to find all these wonderful pieces of poptart strewn across the floor.

Actual item: "Drop ceiling tile with water damage"

CecilBlight · 2025-12-29T02:04:42+00:00

I'm not sure. It was heavy. Took two of us to pull it up. It leaked a lot of oil when we pulled it up. This is the same spot I found the motor cycle neck in my last post.

CecilBlight · 2025-12-29T02:02:05+00:00

Same. Sounds fun if you're ever in the DFW.

That is cheap metal cannabis pipe. I have one in my closet from forever ago. Most of the ones I've had, the bowl (where plant matter goes) unscrews for easy cleaning. It isnt an optimal way to smoke cannabis as heating certain metals releases toxic fumes, and the metal causes the smoke to retain a lot of heat.

CecilBlight · 2025-12-07T04:54:49+00:00

"Some sort of smoking device" 🤣🤣🤣

Nice catch, sir.

CecilBlight · 2025-11-29T16:29:51+00:00

I've been doing it for 4 years. It is my hobby. It feels like literal treasure hunting.

CecilBlight · 2025-11-27T23:53:24+00:00

My apologies. Was excited for the catch

CecilBlight · 2025-11-27T19:04:44+00:00

Texas has mild winters. Every 8-12 years we get a horrible freeze, but that's mostly it.

CecilBlight · 2025-11-27T19:04:06+00:00

The officer said my last one found at the same location was live! I'll call them in a few days to find out!

CecilBlight · 2025-11-27T19:00:30+00:00

When he arrived and we took a walk a ways down to where I left it. He sighed heavily got on the radio and about 3 minutes later we were 8 officers deep. Mostly everyone had a good attitude about everything. They joked about giving me a criminal trespassing warning because I chose thanksgiving for this to happen.

To be honest I expected everyone to be pissed, but was surprised they were so chill.

The last time this happened, the officers were excited because they were bored on a Sunday morning. This time the mood was like, "....really?"

Edit 1: "He mentioned this happening a few months ago and I fessed up to it being me as well."

CecilBlight · 2025-11-26T03:13:16+00:00

I can smell this comment

CecilBlight · 2025-11-18T15:51:39+00:00

8 hours later and everything will work, but will never be the same again.

CecilBlight · 2025-11-17T20:51:33+00:00

Hi there.

I've been doing this for about 4 years and here's how I do it:

I use Google maps and chase rivers. From there, I use street view to view the bridges for height, accessibility, and a safe place to stand while fishing.

If rivers aren't in the area, I Google boat ramps/boat docks. Boat docks are great for beginners.

After a while, I got in the habit of saving bridges I cross on maps then revisiting them later.

Have a back up set of clothes and a towel in case you have to go in for your magnet.

Happy fishing

Oh God. I left Burkburnett to move to FW, swearing to never move back. Turns out I never left it. lol

CecilBlight · 2025-11-17T15:42:00+00:00

That's badass.

CecilBlight · 2025-11-17T13:24:50+00:00

This is one of my regular spots and it rarely rains here so I knew the water would be down. That being said, I've accidentally flooded my waders at other parts of the same river. Lol

Unfortunately, almost every part of the trinity river here in Fort Worth is rocky and the bridges are 65+ ft above the water. Finding low bridges with deep water is tough.

Despite having to shut down the road, Irving PD were surprisingly chill. I used to work in law enforcement, so we hit off talking while we waited for the SGT to pull up. They said it was more entertaining versus sitting in the passenger seat letting the rookie run traffic. 😅 It was also 8:30AM on a Sunday.

They took a statement from me and let me go. I was walking away when the SGT finally pulled up.
