never mind.. now i have no needles..

went out tossed a couple plugs in the rocks.. nothing on top of nothing.. so ok.. winds in my face. needle will sail on out there, and well i need to practice. tried all the above with twitches and what not variable speeds. nothin. but i noticed i could reach over the rocks into a bit deeper sandy bottom.. so lets see what happens when i drag it through the sand kickin up a sand trail.. 3 cranks into my second attempt with that. the unmistakable double tugg of a fish that couldnt commit. so now im excited! next cast, great im stuck on the edge of the rocks.. boink. knot of the leader gives. (i tried a new type i just learned

) and now the needle is back in the EXACT same spot i found it. (give or take 50ft)
guess ill actually hafta buy a few now that i figured out a use for them.
and my buddy has that midnight special salty. i think i like it more than he does.. i think i tried trading the swimmer of the same paint type with him right after we bought them.
