1st Place goes to T. C. Cape Cod with a 61.5 lb

2nd Place goes to Tony Rafala with a 50.2 lb

Congratulations to the Winners ON SOME IMPRESSIVE CATCHES !!!!!!

I'd also like to wish everyone Season's Greetings and to take this time to thank everyone for your continuing support.

Next Year we will be releasing several new plugs and a few surprises...One which may be your Eel Alternative. We at HAB'S think they will make a nice contribution to your arsenal.

See you in the Surf. We'll be out there before you know it. ...................................... J.HAB'S

Over the Last Several Years HAB'S NEEDLEFISH Have Caught More "Confirmed" 30, 40, 50, and even 60 pound Striped Bass than any other Wooden Needlefish on the Market today. 2 Over 50lbs. and 1 Over 60lbs. in 2005 alone........... "HOOK UP WITH HAB'S" Your Best Bet For BIG BASS.....

NICE!


The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
