mine ain't perfect....

I gave up on perfection... right off...
:hihi:

mine ain't either .. shoot for perfection settle for less..

That's a relief! Just finished 2colors, 2 or 3 to go. I don't hate them in fact I like them a lot so far, it's just that I'm never satisfied with my work. It's so hard to keep up with you guys.:hihi: :hidin:

Well finally got mine turned and into the sealer. Should be ready to ship in about 2 weeks.

Painted 30 flaptails, a few atoms and a mouse (freshwater) tonight. I dunno how you guys do runs of 100 or 200 plugs. They're not perfection but Im pretty sure the bass'll like em :uhuh:

I don't ... that would bore the hell out of me,, i hate factory work..

Fred, youre to hard on yourself. I used to buy Gibbs seconds from Stan and John and they caught just as well as the in package stuff. 'Sides Fred yours catch and that's the most important part ain't it? Bigfish talks reverently about your black Danny on "his" beach all the time!:humpty:

That was a career night. I want another like that. I've been fishing that beach at that spot since I was 12 or so. Use to ride my bike ( brand new from the Truro dump) over from my Grandparent's house on Bay View Road. About 1964. That was my BEST night. Fishing with good friends and catching with my own wood. Perfect! The fellow next to me, SeaMonkey?, was out fishing me left and right.

I'm back from laying on my ass for a couple of weeks. I have a lot of work left. I'm getting nervous hearing all the I'm done stuff. Say a prayer for me will you. P.

Well, I was down in the Cave , clearing plugs tonight and the lights went out. Pitch black with a wet plug in my hand. Good thing Wifey heard me yell "That's just PISSA!" and brought a flashlight. Surrounded by dripping epoxy in the dark ain't good.:hs: Three hours later the lights came back on. If I was in Truro it'd be 3 days.

Jake/Fred sorry to hear about epoxy mishap .. Question??? how much doe we sending for shipping ?

$10 for shipping. Did you guys get the email I sent regarding details of the swap?

Thanks Andy.. yep ,, found it .. I stored it away so I'd have it .. $10.00...

All epoxied 1 coat, #2 tomorrow. Now I'm tying tails.:happy:
