Everyone bring one plug for me.

AND To sweeten the deal, I will be giving a plug silhoueted S-B oval bumper sticker to every one that show :D

A few people have mentioned that we need to have more plug in the plugfest so Booger and Bigfish have been working extradiligentlike to come up with more pluggage and a little more interesting with a little good natured competition as well :)

I also promise to have completed my first plug for your inspection that day. This MAGNIFICENT plug has been a labor of love for nearly 4 years since I started R&D at the 1st S-B plugfest back in Slip's garage :hihi: . It will should be ready :D

And thanks to Booger and Larry for taking helping out and organizing this event!

Thanks,

John

Sweeeetttt, can't wait...:D I may not have produced any pluggage worth showing by then, but i can cook so I will definetely be bringin some eats...

I am a very happy man. Thank you Scott and Larry!:D

It should be a great time.....Salty and I put our ugly craniums together and came up with some great stuff, lots of surprises and most of all......plugs, plugs and more plugs!:happy: Stay tuned for updates and additions!;)

:happy: Hot diggity!!:D

Sounds like fun.

Sign up list? First come first serve? Last one was well attended...

sounding good! :D

u guys are the seeds:happy:

So us amateurs have some time to practice!!!
:D

practice, practice, practice..


oh boy, i am gonna make lots of saw dust

I may be up for doing a show on how to build plugs, not sure Yet

I might be up for a demonstration on "how to be a plug ho"

:D

Like TFF said.:hihi: :D

like I said, each of you bring a plug for me and I will come by and you can give it to me and say "ho ho ho"
:)

Is that the same place as last yr.Should be bout 2' of snow on the ground by then.I come just to see some friends.Maybe ho a litttle.:rolleyes:

"Ugly craniums" got to luv that!!!!!!!:D :laughs: :laughs: :laughs:

Cool :cool:

Will you be "throwing" anything this year? :laughs: ;)

Is this event open to non S-B members?

Motorfish...I will have to defer that question to #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& or JohnR. I am not sure we want too many non-members coming as it is a site event put on for and by the members......who did you have in mind?:confused:

BFLArry;
If there aint too much of that white stuff on the roads I may try to get there. I think it would be great! Maybe I could catch a ride with eel punt :happy: :happy:
Charleston

Do that Charleston...it definately will be worth the trip!:D Be good to see you also!:happy:

BF - sent ya a pm

I recieved a pm in regards to the cover charge of $10.00 for the "Plugfest 2005". Just to all who want to know, last year we did in fact have a cover of $5.00 and this went to cover cost of the hall.....this year Scott and I are working hard to make this a first class event and we have recieved much input from many of you and also have brainstormed up some pretty good ideas of our own. However, some of this is going to cost money so we initiated a cover of $10.00 to cover the costs with the remainder of the money going to help JohnR with the costs of running this fine site. We do not believe $10.00 to be in any way out of line as it is a site get together and traditionally such events generate some funds to be given to the site to defray operating costs......Gawd knows I use this site quite a bit and that ain't cheap!:D

:confused: :confused: 10 bux is fine. don't know why someone would biatch. Especially when the profits go to JohnR.:confused: :confused:

No one would bitch unless they were from Lunenburg Ma.:af:

sorry, bad joke

Ten bucks is chump change. No prob w/ that. I think i will be bringing me Kielbasa and beans again but wit more onions this time. I can hear those rear ends singing now! Ain't it beautiful?:laughs:

I ASKED a simple ?..why $10.00 from last years $5.00....BF kindly told me what it covered,,,,all of a sudden it turned into someone BITCHING about the cover charge.... :rolleyes: then other's jump on it, knowing nothing but what they've read buy other's...get the facts right before you go and start shooting from the hip...

I think i will be bringing me Kielbasa and beans again but wit more onions this time. I can hear those rear ends singing now! Ain't it beautiful?

Sounds like we could have another competition in the making.
:D

Guys...this has nothing to do with anyone being cheap or bitching about the cover charge....someone pm'd me with a simple and fair question and I answered it and thought a general explanation should be posted in case anyone else had the same thought.;) No harm and no foul....just a simple question asked.:)

OK, all is well now. I guess it all could have been avoided had someone explained the jump to 10 bucks from 5 last year up front. All's well that ends well. Plug building is supposed to be fun. We all chip in and have fun. Scott was nice enough to step up this year, (I did it last year and paid the dough out of my pocket too) . John will get to benefit from this also and I think the competitions are an interesting addition to the plugfest. No need to get on soapboxes or jump to any conclusions,, I think we can all get along just fine. The Red Sox won the World Series, we should be smiling for atleast a year now :D

That said, I think we will all be looking forward to this again.

Scott and I discussed this also.....that all plug builders should bring along some of their finest work to display and of course.....;) plug swapping is encouraged as, after all, this is "Plugfest 2005"!:happy: Ho'ing is a given....but swapping, trading, buying and selling is all encouraged. More importantly though, I think everyone would enjoy the opportunity to see a little bit of everyones finest work....so bring some of yours for all to see.:eyes:

#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& and I are working out an events list for the day and will post it later on so stay tuned and get them lathes-a-turnin' cause I want some plugs!:D

You have some....:eek: I saw them!:D

Like Booger and Larry said, there are going to be increased costs in putting this together this year. Last year with the 5 bucks cover the balance went to the site after paying Slip for the hall. If this were a really profitable web site, I'd throw the thing on for free. If I hit Powerball between now and then it'll be free too :) (and if it's decent money I'll rent a floor at the local hotel :hihi: ). But we will try to make it more than worth your while to come and particpate.

We also should have a prize for the person that comes the furthest, like a date with Manzi or something....

If you guys like "Plug Night" at MSBA and you like the "Plugfest".....picture this years "Plugfest 2005" as being a hybrid of both of those carefully woven together......and on steroids!:happy: :D

you fellas need any help...just lets me know

i can make another huge pot of spicy, mistery chowdah
mike

I'm bringing my wife's famous Teriaki Sheppards Pie :drool:

Salty and BF - YOu can count on me for a few raffle donations plus whatever else you need. Please don't hesitate to ask if you need something. This is gonna be a good time :D good job guys!

-Dave

I'll bring the same as last year......chili. Just don't light a match in the hall :eek5:

I will bring a pot of my version of a spanish bouliabase, or maybe some BBQ pulled pork if the weather cooperates.
We shall see...

So, who is invited to this? I am in the process of gettin my chit together for my shop. But I hardly think I wanna be bringin any of my trial and error plugs..But, I can cook-damn well..Can I still come and ho and drool? or is this for the closed circle? I'll bring all my "tuckies" if the warriors of wood are gonna be willing to sell a few of their delicious pluggages....Love a chance to learn a few of the tech's from you guys on here. I have seen some unbelievable stuff..So lemme know...
-Chris

Will there be a gas grill or anyone grilling outside? I have access to some of the best sausages around. (stuffed with garlic/cheese....onion/sundried tomato/bacon....etc). Designer sausage.

Hi Guys,

I’m a new-bee to this site and a “born-again” surf fisherman after a 30 plus year layoff. Don’t make plugs, but am in need of some. No one has mentioned desert. Perhaps some home made brownies? Can I come?

Al

All are welcome Al....be glad to have you come. Also, I love desert!:drool: Keep an eye on the threads relating to the "Plugfest" as we get closer to P-Day....(Plugfest Day)!;) All relevant information will be posted as it becomes available. Hope to see you there and welcome back to the world of surfcasting and welcome also to Striped-Bass.com!:happy:

Thanks BigFish,

I'll be there. I will be looking forward to meeting all you "younger" fella's!

You can recognise me by my white beard and lack of hair.

Al

Al, let me tell you something....speaking with some of you slightly older guys is always a pleasure.:btu: Guys like yourself always have so much to share and I look forward to meeting you as I am sure many of the other folks will also.:D Will talk later Al.;)

I will be there, let me know if ya want me to bring any food or anything like that.

I hope to be there.

Yup, CapeSams is old, no question.:laughs: :laughs:

U should talk, found out the other night you is 2 years older than me...... 50, U in the same decade as CS!!!

remembered too, you said U used to fish sand eels at Chapin in the eighties, you and Steve musta run into each other, back then, he was doing the same, if I remember right.....
sand eels=bass candy

I had some pics in my album with me the other night of fishing there. Me, Frank Rufino from west Yarmouth. We did all right there. If you is two years younger how come you got all that grey stuff on your noggin' already! Hard Livin'?:laughs: :D

not enough StripedBass Oil in his diet

25 years of marriage, mortage payments, dealing with the drinking public (that will KILL ya), 2 teenagers, 5 crazy brothers, (makes BM look like Dr. Phil), yeah-----> :o some hard livin', I gotta admit to that......

oooo! chapin....one sand eel...one keeper:D no one dared to fish in my spot...chatham resident with a dennis resident sticker:hee: had alot o good times there with the old gang.

I thought Karl was younger than me

:hs:
But....

:thanks:



I only ask that I get my 50 before I is 50, gives me a coupla years...

Sweet prize....gonna have to hone my skills a bit....competition is gonna be tough!;)

I enjoy pumping you old guys for information speaking with you gentlemen about fishing and making plugs

did u say pumping or humping :laughs:

We're there man!!!

Do we keep this fairly intact with site members & friends of site members as well as the odd invite to some from the other site?

A couple people not online have asked me about this. It's really your show so that's why I'm asking....


Thanks!

John

John I say keep it members and friends of members only (with exceptions from the other site). Just my opinion, but these folks contirbute to this site....its up to you and Salty though.;)

how many people can the hall hold by fire regulations ? should be the determining factor if non site people should be invited . I dont care but space may be an issue .

did I just say that ? WOW

good thing we dont meausre by girth



I may make the ride but wont know for a couple weeks . I dont build but buy and I make a few funnies

I was just wondering whether to mention it to MSBA or NCSFC guys - that's all.

Angler #1 is CS's father :eek: :eek:

hmmm meybe, :huh: but, I doubt it :laughs:

But, he had a similar thing with one lonely little sand eel one 4th of July AM, that yeilded him a 50 #, 'lestways, that's the way I heard it.

What's a plug? I brought some rubber last year and I've been online so little lately, I'm just getting around to reading this. It's too long and I've got little time, so let me know if the guys running this deal want rubber.

I don't know what is going on with this because Salty is missing in action!:rolleyes: He has not been heard from recently.....so I don't know!:(

Looks like it is on you Larry if Salty doesn't come back. I'll help you out in any way I can if you want.

If Salty drops out MAC it ain't happening.....he has had the lead and I have no idea at this point what he has going.....I don't have time now to pick up where he has left off if that is the case. Sorry all.:(

Karl....ya heard right.:)

:(

I have missed that dancing Banana.

Big Fish, I am sure there are a lot of people on here that would split up the chores. :huh:

For your entertainment pleasure and for those hungry to learn, we will be having several knowledgeable speakers giving presentations at "PlugFest 05".:D

1. Flaptail will give a presentation on "Plug History" which should be great....Steve knows his plugs and I am sure will have many of his classics on hand to show.;)

2. Slipknot will be giving a demonstration on "How To Turn A Small Danny W/A Lefty Lip" Bruce knows his stuff so if turning a Danny is something you would like to try, don't miss this. (Plus hoping his lovely wife sends along a batch of her famous brownies):drool:

3. Adam R. aka Adam Romagna will be giving a presentation on "Plug Collecting". Adam R. makes some of the finest plugs on the planet, but from what I have heard of Adam R. (having never had the pleasure of meeting him) is that he has one of the finest plug collections on the planet also! His knowledge of plug collecting is as vast as his talent so if you want some tips on plug collecting.....don't miss Adam R.:btu:

Stay tuned for more additions to "PlugFest 05".....it is really shaping up to be quite a day.:happy:

:drool: awwwwwww pikie:drool:

Am I understanding this right there might not be a plug fest 05?
All this Plugfest foreplay and they honey I got a headache OHHHH, I got blue plugs:scream:
Hope everything works out, Link Sr. :cool:

No Link its a go! Had a little bump but all is well!:happy:

That's good to hear BF :D
I'm gonna have a funky jig for you ,whats your favorite weight to throw.
Link Sr.:cool:

Link...2 oz. probably the best for me...not fishing the ditch.:D

You got it BF !!!!! and also me and jr will show up early to help with whatever needs to be done.
I'll also have some jigs made up to give to some of the board members that have given Jr. and myself some of there work plus some X-tras!!!!!!!!!!!!

Booger lives :D hey, are those misdrills the same ones you said I could have:confused: :smash: johnny

Hey Scott, I will help out in any way I can. Nice to see you back.:D

Misdrills - does that mean they are drilled 90 degrees off true? Or do they have a hole thru the side :hee:

Scott - I received your TFCTFN plugs - thanks!

Hi Folks,

I posted earlier that I would be coming to the Plug Fest. Seems we now have to go to an auction in NH on the feast day. As antique dealers this comes under the heading of “work” and is a must go-to. So I will miss meeting all you plug makers this time around… More so, I am going to miss sampling some of that good grub I see coming to the feast. Hopefully it will happen next year. I am mostly a “lurker” on this forum but do enjoy reading all the interesting posts.

Spring is just around the corner!

Al

AL keep an eye out for any old plugs;)

What I tell Ya bout taKen Ur wood eYe out.;)

there's a good nasty joke about that" wood eye" but I can't post it here.

:hihi:

Wood Eye????:D

of couse I Wood :D

Hey Scott, Seems like you've been very busy, I'll try to come by Saturday. I'll bring a few lures for the Raffle. Heck I might enter one into the contest ;). John just to mix it up a little, I'll throw in a couple fluke rigs and Striper tubs into the raffle. It'll be nice to see some of you old farts again.

Armand

i'll bring some plugs for the raffle table.

Salty & Bigfish - Just curious if there is a tentative schedule of "events" for the day? I ask because I won't be able to make it until close to noon. I've read thru all the posts and there is a wide variety of things happening; speeches, presentations, plug turning, contests, raffles, etc.. Thanks.

did i miss the directions?
VB

495 South to Rt 105. Take a Left go to the light (rt 28) take another left. Club is a couple of hundred yards up on the right I believe
