Some Pichney style stuff and others

Well, I rarely fish much anymore, but the shop has been busy this summer. ProfessorM and #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& were kind enough to get me some pichney bodies to copy and here's what came out:

Pichney Sand Eels

Pichney Conrad and Slope head

Back Beach needles-they're really just slimmed up or down wadds and gag's bodies.

The plugs are probably nice, but your camera obviously sucks.

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

Couple Numbskull inspired skinny donny's too. One has a lefty 2 mid slot, and the other has a bm jr. lip I ripped out of a perfectly good plug...

LOL George is so good for the ego and has an eye for detail.

I think they all look really great Mike. You did a bang up job. The more you make the easier it gets and the results get better. Then one day you think you got it all down and you screw up a bunch and you are back to being paranoid about the whole process again

I'll lend for now and make you a grommetizer, I got a few projects for you this winter Any time you want to stop by your welcome, except this week as I am working days after morning school bus detail, missing these good morning tides too but one day I will be missing the school bus stuff.

It's the best way to start the day. We're doing 8th grade now, so I have to not be right by the bus.

I think that is step three on the road to plugbuilding obsession, plugs look nice.

I owe you one for the plug I begged off you so many years ago, so we'll see what happens...perhaps I could get you one as a party favor for joining us here at S-B for the 2011 striper cup?

Really nice stuff, Mike. I'd say you've come a long way in your first year of building, but the plugs you made when you first started out were really nice, too! You definitely have a knack for this.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
