Thanks to Joe Figliuolo for sharpening my skews and giving me a tutorial on the correct way to "skew".

(paul, tip works fine). Big D, thanks for the "trade" that awesomely crafteed lipless swimmer will see some usage this year, at a little spot called montauk i love to fish, i can promise you that! hey, any of you guys i donated plugs too, you better swim'em or burn'em, cuz' they ain't pretty enough to hang on the wall, you got your own for that. here's to next year! thanks everyone.

All I can say is AWESOME!!!

Great to see so many folks as obsessed with fishing and plug building as I am, an all around good time, and it is a nice opportunity to talk with old friends and new. I always learn something new, and get fired up for the spring run!

Many thanks to BigFish, Slipknot, and all the rest of you who keep making PlugFest a high water mark on the off-season.

I think a car pool from NJ would be the way to do it. I know of atleast 6 maybe 7 NJ guys that went.

Nobody mentioned there was a Yankees fan in our midst? Who was in charge of "PlugLand" security??

Great seeing you Lou! We can excuse your shortcomings......at least for one day!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

thanks Lou.. the woman is a machine... last summer the two of us painted the entire house in two days, I had to put a new roof on the screen porch... she humped bundles of shingles up the ladder as fast as I could lay them down....... when We put in the new post and rail fence, she dug as many or more holes ( through the shale and rocks) as I did.... she gets up every morning at 4:30 and goes to the gym.. and embarrases most women half her age!... I am indeed very lucky...

A good run is better than a bad stand!
