Here is what I came back with that I didn't have when I got to PF 08'.
THANKS ALL WHO GENEROUSLY GAVE THEM TO ME!!!!!!!!
They have all been tested already in Saltwater as me and Numbskull and Cordts got together yesterday in Quisset Harbor and took them for a ride on the end of a fishing rod.

Bill M, I'm getting out of work at 7:00. I'll try to take some pics of the bonito jigs......I have a bunch of them, 5 of the plugs in ATG's picture were mine. ATG my kids couldn't stop talking about trading with yours. Can't wait til next year.

Finaly got the shop back in order and took pictures of my "take" thanks to all who traded with me... I dont know if I have the heart to fish them, seeing as I only have one from each of you, I'd be heartbroken if they were lost...

Joe fish mine please and let me know what you think.If you need some for hanging i'll make you some pretty ones and if you need more for fishing i'll make you some.Thats why i'm trying to fish all the plugs i get from you guys if i lose any i know the builder and will humbly ask for another.

OK, LU, I hear ya, I build mine to be fished as well.... I stay away from the 'gators, so the chances are good, I can retire it when she's battle hardened...

Nope, I cant do that,A mans got to know his limitations, I'd rather stick a 9/0 VMC in my eye than catch Booofish!.... I dont care how hard the wind blows, the tide runs or how hard it rains, if there are fish to be had, I'll stand fast... those chomping ************* show up... I head for stripier pastures or the barn!

Dr.fish · 02-19-2008, 10:49 AM

ProfM...so THAT'S why I feel like Crap since Sat night

...only kidding. Ya by the time I got home on Sat...no voice...(why couldn't that happen to my wife

)

(I might look like this if I said that to her...

) then the rest of the symptoms hit by Sat night.
Next time...WOOD ON THE FLY...1/2 hour after I arrive...pick up AWC and/or Cypress....first come first serve...after that it's my turn to schmooze, BS and HO HO HO!!!

I know that the "coastal gators" get a bad rap, but the West coast guys really love 'em. Real aggressive and usually very willing to hit. Pound for pound they'd pull a striper backward in a tail to tail competition. Sure does make for a good day when the bass are not cooperating...rock...glad to hear you're heading to the barn when they appear. I'll take your spot and hook on those mistake or beat up plugs, remove all trebles and squash the barbs on all siwash etc and have a ball catching and releasing 'till the arms get sore. Might even keep one for the smoker..great with salsa on crackers...or bluefish pate (Oops here comes the Old Milwaukee beer can)
