I mostly fish saltwater and always the chance and the hope, that a a good redfish or speckled trout or something even bigger, will grab hold of my lure/bait. I too love ultralight and have caught a few Specks and reds that were barely legal on my UL rig on 4 lb line. But is usually broken out...

I don't can much now but have in the past so take it with a grain of salt. As long as the lids sucked in and sealed good I think you will be OK. You have killed off all bacteris with the heat and as long as the lids are sealed no more bacteria can come in. Hope others chime in though.

SOS in the garden today. Water and pick okra,Not pickin much else but long beans and the heat's gettin to them too. Impalaya goin good but Mrs. lobo's about the only one who eats that. Still got stuff that won't be ready until late fall/winter.
