A little Xmas giving for a member
 
I ran this by the boss and got his blessing. Hopefully this gentleman will not find my offer intrusive. Seems macojoe has run into some health and life challenges and if you have looked in the classified section you will see he has been forced to sell pretty much all his stuff, fishing and household items, to make ends meet. So in the usual great comradiere here I thought I could try and raise a few bucks to help him out during this season of giving. I will put up a dozen of my own home made plugs. I will post the pics tomorrow nite. Hopefully you will like and pay big bucks for them and help out Joe.:uhuh: Thanks. Paul

Paul, that is an awesome gesture, Is this going to be a lot or individually, I don't even need to see them to bid. If there individuals, I'll start. 50.00

I think individual ones will bring in the most holiday cheer. Thank you Johnny.

WESTPORTMAFIA 12-06-2012 09:10 PM

Met Joe tonight. Nice guy! I have a little something up my sleeve for TCTFN. Good job Paul.

chefchris401 12-06-2012 09:16 PM

sounds like a great idea.

single plugs will bring the most bids.

looking forward to seeing what you put up.

great work guys. :uhuh:

Hookedagain 12-06-2012 09:18 PM

Thats awesome Paul, and I will offer $65 for one of your plugs.

Rob Rockcrawler 12-07-2012 07:18 AM

I will dig up a bunch of canal weight bucktails.

JohnR 12-07-2012 07:28 AM

I'm going to look through my stuff this weekend (if/when I stop working :wall: ) and look for some stuff too.

I've been thinking this might be a good chance to auction of a S-B (semi) Owner / Moderator for a day or two. Auction off limited keys to the site for charity (change someone's avatar, ban for a day) for a good cause.

Jackbass 12-07-2012 08:41 AM

I will do a couple of Sebile knock offs for this gotta paint em but that can happen over the weekend

I'm all over this. Could I post anything without fear of being censored?

Paul, that's an awesome thing your'e doing, and another reason why this site is so cool. A bunch of people getting together to help out a fellow member in need.

I'll also check around and see if I can come up with some stuff for an auction.

Sgt Striper 12-07-2012 11:13 AM

Lets get the auction thread started, I'm ready to put up some stuff :uhuh:

Canalman 12-07-2012 03:29 PM

Anyone want to do another Tourney?

Any species, fresh or salt, same rules as the Tourney For Chuck?

Either way, I'll put something in the ring.

not sure how that would be done. I am too computer illiterate for that. The boss may be able to help out with that.

couple of my poppers. The real small one is pretty heavy 2.5 oz and made for distance and canal and will sink. Big one will float, 3.0 oz also made for canal.

My canal pencils yellow is larger and 2.5 oz, will sink, which is a good thing . My real small one is 2.0 oz and will sink also. Was my got to pencil this year. Both will fly.

2 Howdys. One regular size and my favorite top water spring time lure of all time and color. One also I made for canal, big, 9" long. Fun to fish.

A Lido flaptail copy that I made. I built all the hardware. Great plug to fish and you don't find may building flaptails.

Hookedagain 12-07-2012 07:38 PM

Paul. are these lots of 2 or individuals?

ProfessorM 12-07-2012 07:40 PM

Dannies. The med danny is a copy of the older style Beachmaster. I made the lips and pretty sure these are exact as I had one to go by. Next are 2 Pinchney plugs I made. His small danny and his peanut conrad. I had to make the lips for both. These 2 small plugs are great swimmers and good luck finding these in original form or being made by many people.

Next are a mack spook of my own design and a Beachmaster Schoolie plug in schoolie paint. I made lip for this also as with the above plugs no one is making these lips commercially so if you want to make the plugs you got to make the lips.

ProfessorM 12-07-2012 07:42 PM

I think individual is way to go Spud to get the most bang for the buck and to help out the most. If others think differently then I am open to all opinions. I will give this till next Friday nite at 8 pm.

spence 12-07-2012 07:45 PM

Yes, instructions on how to buy would be good.
