is it winter already??? :tooth::tooth::tooth:

the person I quoted

:bl2::bl2:

I am sorry but guys come here looking for help, if people like onecastmike2003 come on here and try to make everyone feel bad about asking these questions this fishing board is useless

Bottom line is there is a time and place for every kind of plug made you just need to know the time and place to use them.

Danno1 I sent you a pm

beautifully put. thats wat i was thinking this whole time. i came here for advice a year ago and i kno if in the beginning i got feedback like wat onecastmike posted, i would have left. hopefully one does ruin it for all. (no pun intended :biglaugh:)

You nailed a 47 pounder and you've only been at it a year? Way to go!

onecastmike2003 seems to have a way with words :hihi:....
I though it was a good thread...love hearing of large on bombers...one of my all time favorites..
Like others have said Danno some great plugs available right here through site sponsers!

thanks rocky. been surf casting seriously for like 4 years now, but yeah, talk about having some luck though. all about being at the right place at the right time and knowing wat to do :bl::bl:

SWE for me is hands down best place to buy plugs.Worth a trip from CT.Pete is the man and I'm sure you'll find you want.I wish I lived in that shop.There's always good people in there that will give you priceless info on stuff you want to know .I think they have wood and metal from all the s-b sponsors in there!

Nice photo! :wiggle:

thanks. got her last summer. feels like it was yesterday that i walked the mile down the beach with her though. i remember not being able to hold it up for the picture i was so tired hence the red in my face :usd:

Well said Tatoobob

She sure is a cow.
:btu:

Tools don't use tools. :rollem:

Thanks guys, feel like deleting this whole post for causing a big haggle :yak:
I think I should stick to chunking :hee:.



But after buying my first "professional"plug, I see why they cost what they do.
Since there is no rush at this time of the season, I`m buying 1 or 2 every couple weeks from the sponsers here

Don't let the internet's biggest ass clown get you down. YOU didn't cause the haggle.

m&d's has a nice selection of wooden plugs and so doesnt saltwater edge.

Nice catch there Gunpowder :btu:
Remind me to shake your hand if we ever meet.
I must have cast bombers on the beaches as many times as 4 ounce jigs in the ditch, best I have with the bomber was about 21 pounds. 47-3/4 pounds is a feat.

the rest of you guys need to just ignore the chest beating knat onecastmike and not take his bait, his bait is bad,stinky,rotten,old bait.
ignore the guy. I wish everyone on the site could just list him on their ignore list.

I will put in one vote for shopping with Joe Lyons of Surfasting Rhode Island- site sponsor and all around good guy.

I agree completely Bob. Maybe I'm just jaded but some of the fishing forums just seem to be a LOT less friendly and a whole lot more condescending if not vicious then they used to be.

It drives away new members and old ones...

well bob the fish is 46 in and 38 lbs on my custom... and a far cry from 20lb dink...!
rude people over here...

Merry Xmass Team S- Bass

Well now that I know what kind of a jerk and troublemaker this guy is i'll ignore him thanks for the info and the support.

Well it's about time...let the wars begin!!!

I like supporting locals so I check capt. Don's first. He stocks Afterhours and I use them a lot. Second choice would be buying direct from the maker's website if there is one and it's possible. The makers who are sponsors here make nice stuff and I can't see ever NEEDING any more than is offered by them in the way off better quality semi customs. SWE is a ride for me but it certainly is a nice store. Be warned that if you go there to meet someone to pick up a rod you bought in the classifieds and you get there early to look around and Steve McKenna is there all alone and you ask to see a few of those reels that everyone likes so much (VS) and he shows you several... you may be scraping around for several hundred $$$ in the next week or two.

None ruder than you RHM.
That fish is not even close to 46"/38#
You're not hoisting a 38# fish with a couple of fingers wrapped around the top of your plug.
Do us a favor. Buy a scale and learn how to use a tape measure. Oh, and leave your crap over at the other place.:doh::mad:

I thought this thread was about where to buy plugs? :conf:

I have to second these suggestions. Anyone passing through CT should stop by these two shops. Both are right off 95.

OCM - There is no flippin' way that fish is 38 pounds - no way, no chance. I think you need to dial up the truthi-meter and dial back the bully and attitude. Or you will be the first "voted off the island" this year

Isn't the primary today, let's vote :rotfl:


danno, support the sponsors here, great shops with guys that give awesome advice and they carry quality gear for however you fish.

38#s? Where do you buy your scale. Or are you figureing approx. 10#s for every finger you have holding the plug. :hihi:
