Favorite Color Fixter - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

In total agreement Capesam,
Nothing I was posting there was for sale, The problem came with people posting others plugs. Unfortunely a few westcoaster found the site and began showing my regular stuff with fish attached. They did it innocently not thinking of reprecussions. Its just like this thread, Show me Your Fixters!!! Should Mike get in trouble? Well in years past if someone would of done that in Vegas it was okay. I even did a long post of going to Mike's shop and buying plugs. So there is the dilemma, I followed the basic guidlines as I will do here "No Forsale sign posts) Plugs at this time I am experimenting on or color patterns I'm goofing with. But both you and I cannot control what someone else posts nor can they go and delete or edit anymore what they posted when it was pointed out to them what they were doing is wrong.
Again I am not mad at anyone nor do I hold any grudges, I just don't feel safe in Vegas anymore. I'm sure others have the same feelings. Anyway this is a much better neighborhood. Ask a question and it gets answered by more than one person whose word is golden, something that is missing in Vegas.
I do have some new stuff I will be putting up in the near future just like many others it's time to fiddle in the shop with ideas that you came up with during those long hours of fishing. The mini pikies were one, I'm working on a bomber subsitute that has gone through many stages with the newest one being test swum soon. Another is a wooden bucktail thingie, heavy enough to cast but with a bit of bouyancy to keep it suspended longer in the strike zone.
As for paint I am goofing with the worlds most boring color pattern. Red and white. We all know that a pencil popper in that color is like magic yet so boring to paint. Time to try and make someone say man thats cool.

I'll admit I am one of those innocent westcoasters. But I never intended to
get anyone in trouble or harrass anyone. In my case
when you don't build plugs to trade you can either trade something of value,
like really nice fishing reels, buy the plugs from the plug builder who is willing/allowed to sale or you can get really really lucky, which I have on a few occasion, and the plug builder generously sends you one for free. my favorite way to aquire a plug BTW. Thanks to all those who have donated to my small but growing collection of Beautys, You know who you are. Again
it was never my intention to harass or get anyone in trouble. I just would like to have a plug from all the Fine plug builders here and on the other plug(lure) sites. Again my appologies to those builders I have done wrong too.

Red + white, bland.blaaa,boring yes, do they catch yes, old school colors yes,two-three tone's can't hate them for working well..I don't see anyone crappin about beachmaster color's.I was told by an old fisherman[person],,paint them plain boy,paint them plain.

rule's will get so tight that soon no one will be posting anything,,,shame,,,necomer's/old still want to learn new trick's and gaze uppond the wonder's of artwork/shape's/color's/ size's. without posting one's work thing's will go stale...it's alway's fun to see someone catch a fish on someone's plug and show it off...Gawd it's a fishing site,,,do fishing thing's,,it's not an accounting corse.[or spelling class]

I don't think anyone question's yours or 919sickness(steelhead)'s intention.
winch has a good sense of humor, I hope you 2 do also.

I think the Mayor of Vegas changed his tune a bit after I pointed some assumptions out to him, it's the best we can do. I'm sure this too shall pass.

We don't need to rehash stuff from over there, on this forum any further. I know alot of you visit both sites and I like to also. There are things to learn on both sites and great builders on both sites as well.

You will never see JohnR ask anyone how much they paid for a plug on this forum

anyway, have a good fall
I have football to watch tonight

Capesam
Lets see the Pink Fixter That's the whole point of my post. To share pictures of Mr Fixtures Beauties. His paint schemes are simple but very pleasing to the eye. And the finish on his plugs are out of this world. Let's see the Fixters
