Sorry I could'nt make the Plugfest as I'm on the West coast..But congrats on all the work you certainly do..With this forum , It makes me feel as part of your tremendous friendship to fishing & sharing with lure building...I've had a few Striperfests at my house for about 40 friends in the last few years...Stripers have really dropped off in the past...But seeing the wonderfull gatherings you have back east, gives me a push for another this year...Actually 6 of us are going to Rhode Island in June to sample your great fishery. Any way keep up the sharing of wonderfull ideas with the Left ocean guys, as we really appreciate it..

Jim
