Can you take some pictures for those of us who cannot make it? Would love to see how a pro does this.

Jigman

If all of you guys are lucky, Slips wife will make some of those brownies again:happy:

This picture just doesn't do it justice...

From where I'm sitting it looks GREAT to me, someday, somehow ,somewhere I'll snag one of those. any fa sale?

whew! that plug is so sweet

Jigs, I'm still working on editing pictures and text that I'm going to post. I know, I know I've been a little lax lately:D

I'm looking forward to seeing some great people from last time and meeting some of the new people that have joined since last year. It's good to put faces with names. mrpogie

Mr Pogie - welcome back - hope you had a great year...

Thanks John, the first two thirds were pretty good but the last third was pathetic. My daughter and son inlaw are renting a house with a spare room in Middletown while she does some grad work at URI. Between way too much work and being sick for three weeks I didn't get down there once to fish. I was supposed to get out with Krissy, uh I mean Krispy:D Sorry Kris but that article was too funny. Looking forward to next year, I'm gonna spend some time in RI. ...mrpogie

Thanks Kev:( :D

Thanks mrpogie, I'm sure those photos will be worth the wait :) Killer plug there too :happy:

Jigman

Hey Slipknot,
I have never built a plug. I have fished plugs for years and have always wanted to make my own. Is this a get together for experienced people or can someone like myself attend. Thanks pbrown

PBrown welcome aboard. Unfortunately the sign up for this get together was awhile ago, and due to limited space the list is shutt off. I think there may be another down the road.

Pbrown - welcome to S-B...

Unfortunately, like Specialist said, the plug party seems is booked up, actually it's overbooked as there looks to be twice as many people this year than last... Perhaps the only good news is, since ther are no openings, nobody will likely steal your plugs or car keys... (Just Kidding - it is a lot of fun)...

pbrown, welcome. Yes unfortunately like they said there's no room for more this time but we'll keep you in mind for the next one.

think I will eat a can of beens B4 I come over:D

:hidin:

:happy:

As there is no more room to go see MrPogie make his Bottle Swimmer lip, I wonder if he could give us a description of his process and tooling. I have built swimmers with metal lips, but not bottle swimmers. I was getting ready to turn some 1 1/2 oz to paint black for night fishing, but haven't figured out how to create the lip, and be able to do it consistantly.

Assinippi, I'm in the process of doing that. I've already taken most of the pics, they just have to be edited for size. Then I've got to type out some text to go with them. I can't guarantee they'll be done before Christmas as things are getting busier as we get closer. But I'll post them as soon as I can. ...mrpogie

Slip I'm still waiting by the mail box for my invite. Actually, I don't want to be too close to BM anyway, he scares me. :mad:

Hey Oz, nice to see you here :p

you need an invitation in the mail? :smash:
Are you coming up with weewee?:o :( why:mad: ?

come up and show me how to make a plug that works, like a darter for instance :smash:

ya never made it up this fall:( \\Laptop\pictures\Bruce\Lures 2002\darters.JPG

Does anyone know where those lures are? I have no idea who I gave them to ??? i'm a idiot

idiot:smash:

Slip,

I'm bummed I never made it up. What a lousy fall I had. The plug thing sounds like a good time, not sure I can make it. I'm gonna try though. :)

I may be late as my God daughter's birthday party might be the same day - not certain yet.

On a side note - if you want to see the very nice article Mr Pogie did last year on Applying Envirotex to plugs:

Look forward to seeing everyone...
