Okay, since not many responses I guess I will just give out the answers.
1. It was a #2300 6 inch Creek Chub Husky Pikie in Mullet (color # 07) and the lip was bent straight down so it would not swim but push water and pop along the surface.
2. Joe Brooks was the first person to ever catch a Striper over 20 pounds on a fly rod with a popping bug at Coos Bay Oregon, a 29 pounder.
3. It was a mammoth #23 Capn' Bill's Swimmer which Red Top and Bunny DiPietro owned after buying the company from the Schearer Brothers original creators of the Capn' Bill lures line.
4. Old Mister Boston's rocking chair and the stars of Hennesey Brandy. The annual liquor expenses (each memeber had his own liquor locker) for the members was only topped by the bait bill.
5. Gibbs 2-1/4 oz. Polaris, white w/ red head.
6. Charley Murat's shop. Master rod builder and plug maker and devoted champion of the Darter and teaser combo. He died with his boots on literally, he dropped dead in the surf of Nauset while playing a bass.
7. Monomoy Island off of Chatham, before seals the mussel beds just off shore and just inside Bearses Shoal were big bass heaven and local commercial guys wire lined just off the beach for many big bass in the old days there.
8. Creek Chub introduced the Surfster and the new colors of Blue Flash and the famous Puprple Eel, 3 years after introducing the Striper Pikie in 1950, in 1955 they introduced the Surf Popper and Surf Darter.
9. Al Rienfelder and Lou Palma from this came the Bait Tail as well.
10. The late Capn' Phil Schwind of Eastham MA.
Thanks for trying!
