Plugfest 2007 - Thank you everyone!
 

No surprise but yet again you all pulled off a tremendous PlugFest - truly awesome and inspiring work that you did.

Congrats to the winners! Pictures coming (I saw a lot of people taking pics) and all the details will be put up soon.

Thanks to Fishpart for running the door so I wouldn't get anyone sick (which I'm getting to be again so off to nap I go in 2 minutes) and big round of applause to Slipknot for all he did on putting this together for all of of us :btu:

I'm off to bed for a power nap!

Thanks & again, Congrats :btu:

Thanks John and Bruce for a wonderful time. Great to see all, especially the ones who drove from NJ, and some new faces too. Top notch get together. P.

thanks for he shirt bossman.
good seeing everyone too.

Oh, and one more thing. I still have some more cash to give out from the prizes. Tomorrow I will pick out the rest and send some PMs out. I figure I can PayPal that money to people - I will also put up a list for the those that need to send me their addy so I can send out the award plaques - thanks again!

Another Amazing plugfest!
I had a great time seeing all you nuts again and meeting new ones.
Thanks for all the help everyone :uhuh: Thanks to Mrs. Slip for her help, thanks to those who brought food, drinks and supplies, thanks to those who helped out setting up and breaking down, Thanks to JohnR for a great site, thanks to bassmaster for spinning wood, and to PNG also.
Great group of people you all are. Thanks to those that make the long trek to join us at Plugfest 2007, you guys from NJ are dedicated for sure. Chumbucket, Thank you so much again for "THE Plug" :) it really made my day getting that swap plug from so long ago, you put alot of effort into that one and went beyond what was ever neccesary.
Thanks to all who entered contest plugs, it makes for a fun event for all :kewl:

I took a few pictures too, I'll get the rest up later

here is one of the plug I added to the novelty contest for someone since they couldn't make it ;)
and the next pic is of the awesome shirt JohnR designed and has to get going and pre-sell some so he can place the order of 150 so we can all have some too.:wave:

I gave out and traded quite a few plugs today, good luck with them.

I learned a lot from watching you, thanks for sharing the technique.
As soon as I splurge on some steb centers I'm going to give it a try!

contest

I heard many people say, and I also said how much we missed #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& today! :wave: You were missed Scott! Feel better soon!

Man..those creations are fantastic!! Wish I could have been there!

MikeCC....starting the daughter on the "Plug Poaching" early? I like it! Nice score there!

GEE .... now i'm wondering if i was an old fart
or a young fart ........or a silent but deadly. :huh:

the shaman moves in mysterious ways.

Chit Chit Chit I hate when work F's up a perfectly planned roadtrip to a Plugfest..... Looks like a good time had by all.
Great pics. Karl, are there any shots you're not in????:tooth: Classic shot of Clammer's front, and Capesam's arse! go figure... Chris, I get dose sawdust boogers most days.....blow or sneeze real hard and can knock you out!

Best Ho-ing day of the year and I missed it.

Chit Chit Chit

Scott - you were missed but Slip got the Crazy Banana up in your honor - it was even through wired!

DZ - great to see you! Thanks as well for the donated trip!

And thanks to the long drive contingent. I think today had the most traveling from NJ so far and Lou, while only 100 miles away probably had to double that to get there.

Its also funny when someone (Karl Fahrverah) makes TWO novelty plugs that he needs to enter a can of :spam: into the fishable category :tooth:

Oh, and nice delivery from Herb Reed & Sluggo on those new squid colors - also cool to see the kids getting a couple of those in addition to the adults :hihi:

I said it before and I'll say it again, big thumbs up to Slipknot (and Melissa). He has done more for Plugfest and for many many years, than anyone !

I Ho'd some awsome plugs today , it was fun to be there and fart from the awsome viddles. Mike that popper is nice u need to sell em in ya shop. Man U bums make some nice wood! nice to meet you guys taday" awsome wood !

my plug Ho powers must be tuned a lil better :D
slip I ho'd u haha

I didn't bring much to trade today as I haven't gotten much done this year that doesn't already have someone elses name on it :D . Next year for sure.

Moses, here's what I walked away with.

After the fest I had some plugs I needed to test swim, so I tested these too. Lower your plug does just what you said it did. Sweet.

Striperknight, I know you said your water was frozen so I tested your little darter. Its perfect, slow -moderate retrieve and an occasional twitch and it was down 12-18" with a nice tight wiggle.

Pics please and if you figure something new....

I'll say. Now get to work. Payback is a bitch.

The day goes by so fast, wish it lasted longer.

I learned some stuff also today, and Angler#1 gave me lots of advice:kewl: Also Stan's friend. I think I'll do more plugging in the canal this year and give my back a rest from so much jigging.
