Salt, sand, stars....oh yeah and stripers  |

				 cats and plugs 
 i had this friggan cat that just loved lures.... 
prolly cuz i used ta go cat fishin hookless for him 
with a catnip mouse.... 
if ya ever need a good belly laugh-> thats the way....
 
anyways...that S.O.B.  got into my tacklebox one day 
he had all the lures everywhere....tangled,  pissin me off bigtime
 
"i thought"   i had every stinkin plug back where it belonged 
and i picked up my camouflage parachute for hiding my rig
 
i was whirling it into a ball wicked fast 
 .....to stow it away.... 
and "Son of a gun" there was one plug left in the middle  
and i buried that treble hook right into  
my hand so deep i had to go to the hospital.   |

				 | Hey All,
 I remember seeing a posting somewhere on here about tourneys this year.  Fresh and salt.  I think someone was talking about putting some together.  Any ideas?
