				 | I'm fishing them.  Building them is only part of the game, figuring out what works and what needs to be changed is the more important step.  You need fish for that, and the fish are here.  Including some very substantial ones.  You'd think I'd know better. |

				 | no Paul you're not the only nit wit 
I have not even started building my plugs yet   
lost all of April due to wet basement rebuild and re-organizing shop even though i had no work all month. Now I have work 10-12 hours a day and too beat to even fish. I got out this AM only to get chased off the water after about 5 schoolies from lightning, fish ain't worth dying over. |
