This also came to my mind . The way Flap would hold a plug .. Like it was precious . When ever a question came up at "plugfest"about a certain plug the reply was always the same "ask Flap". Last time I saw Flap was about 2 months ago . He was coming out of a path Capeside 6a after fishing the canal . I pulled over and we talked about fishing ,, about how "Numby" had some success recently with darters in the canal . I'm really fortunate to have some fond memories of running around the Islands all hours of the night with Flap and Numby.. Remember Flap and Numby came to Hull for a skunking one night. Flap gave me one of his own plugs he built .. Painted it with inks.. It looks vintage .. amazing work . Steve was a good guy . I'll never forget a big man they called Flaptail ...
