Thanks everyone, great time seeing you guys again. Just got back to Jersey with my Jeep dragging under the weight of AWC, AYC and enough plugs to last awhile!
Great job!

Thanks to all for the great day. The Boss, Slip, Mike and clan. I had just an awesome time. You New Jersey and New York guys are manly men, driving like that. Thank you, too, it's always great to see you. I'm still tired, and I only drove an hour.
Inspired, isn't the word. Plug shock and awe.

Plugfest gets better every year and still keeps its friendly, laid-back attitude from the beginnings thanks to Slipknot - Bruce May who started this whole thing a few years back and John R our striped-bass host who runs a great website always generous and striper fishing community minded.
So many great Plugbuilders and striper fishermen in attendance and how-to demonstrations I am always impressed how it all gets done with the hard work from everyone involved. Thank You:
