Thank you to the site for putting on a great day at the plugfest. It was a pleasure to meet you guys and to see some of the great work you do. True craftsman. I picked up a lot of great techniques and tricks and can't wait to try them. Good being able to put faces to names. I think fun was had by all. P.M.

Yes Bigfish and #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& deserve a round of applause:claps: job well done.

:claps: :claps: :claps: :claps: :claps:

Thanks Salty, Larry, John R.

Great Day... nice to see everybody and everything.

sorry I missed it but I promised my daughter a day with daddy. I was going to bring my daughter but with the 1hr drive I dont think she would last long....maybe next year :(

Salty and Big Fish, Great day!!! Thanks for all the effort and time you put in to putting it all together!!!! Great to met all you guys. Trade stories, tips, plugs, etc....

Salty & BigFish Thanks for getting us plug nuts together :D Its always nice to be around fellow addicts...uhh fishermen :D

Slip thanks for the sweet deal :humpty:

Peter thanks for the articles :D

Steelhead - worm hatch ;)

Links thanks for the jig and the D&D cup ;)

Newelly/Mac/Dave - :btu:

CS & Flap - Thanks for letting me pick your brain


Im off to the cave, someone come get me down there once the herring show up :)

Thank you Salty, thank you Big Fish for putting this event on. Thank you John R for hosting this site and bringing all these people together. I only caught the last 1-1/2 hours but I was entertained and educated. Thank you everyone that brought stuff to show and to those of you that share some of your hard earned tricks. Now I am lusting after some of those tiger maple needles that Slip did. Fortunately I have a little tiger maple down in the shop. Some of those paint jobs were really sick! I can't see putting any of those in the water within a mile of a Bluefish. As usual I came away with some new ideas to try out. This was a great experience, one that I am sure is unique in this world!

Once again, thank you everyone that was involved in putting the Plugfest together and to running the show. I am glad that I got there for the end and am sorry I missed the rest. Next year!

Thanks toLarry and Scott as well as everyone involved. Had a great time and came home with a bunch of plugs
:happy:

Thanks everyone hade a great time.
BF & salty great job in setting up this event. Hope it helped John out running the site.
