well there will always be a few that won't go out in less then a 30 footer with all coustom rods, and all kinds of flshing stuff, only to coime home and say they weren't bitting today! Spending tons of cash on fuel & Beer

I bet I don't spend $50 a day to go out!! Thats gas for boat and truck. Any rod will work, but I build my own.

Its only as expencive as you want it to be!

I no guys that go out all summer long and never get a thing!! They come home with a bucket of Scup and say we had a great day!!

Thanks Slip and John for putting this together. I had a great time and enjoyed talking to everyone, and meeting some new people.

Again, thanks everyone. The quality of the plugs I saw yesterday was impressive.

Thanks again Slip! you did a GREAT job putting this together! :D

As the list of contributors comes together, I will post your names up on the site... Thanks! :)

Message to ChrisH: aka (I never win anything) How was the book? Also thanks again for the casting egg. Nice meeting you and so many others too.

thank you all for putting together such a nice event. it seemed like a good time was had by everyone.

That really was a great gathering, thanks Slip and John for doing this. It was cool to be able to see and hold the plugs made by members, absolutely outstanding stuff!

Also thanks to the guys who brought some of their vintage collection to look at and BS over :kewl:

Food was great, company was better. Good to meet some more of the south county crew. Came home with a bunch of stuff to sneak into the basement :humpty:

:laughs: :laughs:
I spent those for stripers. I will get a rod for fluke when the season arrives. However, I need to pay off Russ next month or soon!

Russ, I just found out that the Chinese New Year is coming in two weeks, you might get your money SOON!!!!

Tru-dat. Words of wisdom right there Joey. Just because the 'pro' said to use this and that... doesn't mean that's the only way. You don't need a new rod and reel for each kind of fish in the sea. Fluke fishing is often as simple as getting the baited hook in front of the fish. At my favorite fluke spot from shore lots of Jamaican(I think) guys fish with hand lines. They whip em around in a circle or cast them off of empty 2 liter soda bottles. They do almost as well as me :D I just use of one my freshie rods.

Looks like a bunch of guys holding phallic symbols. Where is the bait?:D

I would like to thank Slip and John for putting on this event.. great time:btu:

It was nice to finally put a face to the name of so many, KarlF, ThrowingTimber, blackeye, Eben, Rocketman, tagger, newell, Gloucester2, rizzo and his dad Bob, BM, Salty, Christian, the Missing Links, and anyone else I forgot to mention... met so many great people and learned a few good tricks and techniques.

Thanks Bruce for the demonstration of the thru-drilling and, BM thanks for the tips on the lathe.

Rocketman, the book is excellent (thanks Gloucester2)

Thanks again to everyone I met.
