God, it felt good to talk plugs and fishing again. I needed it big time.
Highlight came at the end when some quiet 16yo kid was standing there drooling over a purple skinny donny. Said he fished 360 hrs at night in the canal last year (using his mother for transport, God bless her) and wanted to buy one to try there. I told him it was too unstable, he said he'd use it at slack. So I gave it to him. He pulled out a wallet to try and pay me and I told him no, just to take it and fish it. He stood there wide eyed when I had my best idea of the day………………………………I turned to Paul and told him to give the kid a plug…….and of course he did.
Three happy people. A good day all around.

George I saw/heard that conversation and that made my day too, he was adamant about that plug. When you told him it wouldn't hold in the current he did not budge on his decision. Very cool, he listened to every detail of from using cut hooks to how to fish it.
Nice putting SB handles to names & faces. I learned a lot and met some good people.

Not a dig at the Berkeley show, or friends and peers I see down there at all, but this all looks refreshing. Nice work on those tables....

Great time as always. Plugfest is the one day you feel right at home obsessing over pieces of wood.

I would like to know as well. I stayed just to vote on the Bass Aqua that should have won a few years back. |
Nobody calls me Lebowski. You got the wrong guy. I'm the Dude, man.

Paul won best classic for that one
I think the lobster won best of show
googooman maybe most likely to catch a cow on first cast
but that was a beauty also. |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
