THere was another thread that was started last night, great show with alot of great people there. I had a great time and put a dent in my mad money fund. The Tattoo Jointed swimmers are nice I wish I could have gotten black. and I was 2 1/2 hours after it opened yesterday and all the Habs Jointed needles were gone and the Beachmasters were gone in like 2 minutes. there were not many of Salty's needles or spooks left either. but talking to everyone is sure worth the 10 dollars entrance fee. plus I added a few new spots to my list, it is funny how beer loosens lips

The Habs-Tattoo area was one o my Favorite places.We all now bout the high quality plugs..
thats not why it was my favorite.Well it was but.The Raffle girls supplied me with a special kinda wood.No not that U dirty minded bastage's. I won a free Tattoo plug in a raffle.Now take a girl thats Model Beautifull wit a very nice personality, an then she gives u Wood,I mean lures. Its enough to make even The Notorius NIB week in the Knees.I'm so in love wit tony...I almost had to beat down a coupla fellow NJ dogs...She said she was a teacher.I wanna be in the third grade again.

Did anyone notice the Gibbs New three once Needle's.
It was a Hab's right down to the paint scheme.The white with the red splash around the eyes.
I started to bust thier balls on it but I felt sorry for the poor bastage.
So I stopped.Imitation is the greatest form of flattery he said.I Said well ur directly copyin his product an will be takin money out of his pocket an from his family.He went on an on how he don't make any money outa gibbs.How it takes up a very small part of his large facility that primarily makes displays or somethin.thats what I like to hear plugs made for the fisherman by displaymakers.No thanks...He was big on the tradition of the Gibbs Name that was good.But the new stuff is stilll mosly junk.Glad i got my older Gibbs stuff to hold me over.They sell em at custom prices also.For a good plug I would rather thro a Lex Lure. Anyone see the 3 oz. darters at the surfcaster.Model'd after a old small NJ builder that usta make em an sell em by the grosses at montauk.They swim great an at 14.99 tough to beat.Speakin of Darters Did anyone notice the new Tattoo 2 oz.models.Much nicer than the Beachmasters if u can find one.Coming in the fall, when they come out It'll be tough not to get the whole line.Mr.Tatdad gotta get busy I will need em for July/August when i come back up there.Some dude from NJ was tellin me how he has 15 tattoo plugs.I was like thats sick.well last night i was putting away the new stuff i got an noticed i had a few an couted em up.Boy am I sick.

I wish you told me I would have scored some for you, If someone sees this maybe they will do you a favor and get some for you. I wanted some deep divers and totally forgot, I will get them though

[basswipe]

I WAS having a good time.I got myself a decent filet knife finally,bought a few of Nebe's eels and bought my girlfriend one of Afterhour's Sliders and then the phone rings while walking down the isle and its my girlfriend's daughter.Someone tried to break in.

I was potentially going to have a great day but now I'm angry and want to go shoot the punk(s).

If you live in neighborhoods off of the Warren Ave. area in Tiverton keep an eye out for suspicious people.

Sorry to hear that Basswipe. Not feeling secure in your own home is NOT a fun feeling.

Also, RI sales tax. They love to mock "Taxachusetts" and its 5%, but RI is definitely brutal with its 7%.

The vibe at the show continues to be great. Met some great people today which is almost always the best part of fishing shows.

Still not quite NY with 8.25% statewide, and 8.50% in Nassau and Suffolk Counties. Then there's that swell 5 digit LI property tax

Want to leave? Get ready to fork over that real estate transfer tax

"Taxachusetts"? Count yer friggen' blessings
