Had a really great time a well! Always great seeing the old friend and walking away with new ones. Seems like every year I get to know more and more of you. Makes it that much more enjoyable.

There were so many incredible plugs I can't even begin to list them. Very, very impressive work. I also have to thank you for your kind words and encouragement. It's a huge compliment coming from this croud.

Can't believe you already got that plug wet DJ! I hope you stick a nice one on it. Slip...I owe ya...blame Karl...
Vinyardblues...I'll be in touch, get the beer on ice.

Scott - you were missed but Slip got the Crazy Banana up in your honor - it was even through wired!

DZ - great to see you! Thanks as well for the donated trip!

And thanks to the long drive contingent. I think today had the most traveling from NJ so far and Lou, while only 100 miles away probably had to double that to get there.

Its also funny when someone (Karl Fahrverah) makes TWO novelty plugs that he needs to enter a can of into the fishable category

Oh, and nice delivery from Herb Reed & Sluggo on those new squid colors - also cool to see the kids getting a couple of those in addition to the adults

I said it before and I'll say it again, big thumbs up to Slipknot (and Melissa). He has done more for Plugfest and for many many years, than anyone !

I didn't bring much to trade today as I haven't gotten much done this year that doesn't already have someone elses name on it . Next year for sure.

Moses, here's what I walked away with.

After the fest I had some plugs I needed to test swim, so I tested these too. Lower your plug does just what you said it did. Sweet.

Striperknight, I know you said your water was frozen so I tested your little darter. Its perfect, slow -moderate retrieve and an occasional twitch and it was down 12-18" with a nice tight wiggle.
