Good seeing you there Dave . I think Steve would have been touched by people remembering him there. He really was close by on Saturday.

[Clammer]

I agree / I was there only a short time /

but a great location , excellent food .

awesome raffle ,

plug making talent / words can,t describle .ya gotta see it .

Steve would have & probably gave thumbs up on the effort of all the great people on the site .

I enjoyed seeing old friends .. don,t think I met any new ones / I was very low keyed ;

Dave,
Thanks for showing how you load the Cordell Pencils with lead shot. Just goes to show you that you can teach old dogs (like me) new tricks.

I don't think we'll find a better more central place.

Hey Dave ,,, Plugfest was great ... Tons of new plugs .. Flap and his display of old plugs and knowledge of each was sorely missed . As great as Plugfest was, there was also a big hole ..

Dave thanks for the cordel how too as i will give it a shot before winter is over. It was great seeing everyone and believe me the ride there and back go by in a flash as you are exited just thinking about getting to plugfest and when its all done all you do going back is start reminiscing the good time you just had and how fast it went by.I missed talking to Steve as many did but you know he had to be smiling seeing all of us still sharing and having fun.

Sorry I didn't get a chance to sit and talk with you ,Dave. I was just kinda walking around stunned at all the fine work. Felt like an old fart left at the dog track. It was good to see you there though. Next time, or maybe the beach, eh? New Moon in June in Truro?

I was glad to see stan kuzia make it. Thanks to carl for attending and bring ing his sidekick along.

[Slipknot]

Yes I did enjoy myself at plugfest, but it went by too fast.

maybe they will let us start earlier and stay later next year

Thanks for coming Dave and thanks for doing that demo, naturally I couldn't sit for more than 4 minutes getting called away twice.

We'll do it all over again next year

Right New Jack, always a pleasure to see the legend Stan Kuzia and Carl too.

I don't think it could of been much better. Great exhibitors, good location, good way to spend a late winter's day. Steve's spirit lives on.

Good to see you Dave, and good to see everyone else.....I had a great time and my girl did too. She thinks im much more normal now..lol....j/k....but it was great, got to meet a few new faces and seen some amazing work on some really great plugs.....very inspiring and man to be honest with all the fishing i do all year I'm usually good with the good bass fishing starting up in May, but after plugfest...I just cant wait....... Thanks to all those at S-B that put it together, it was definitely a great way to spend the day and congrats to all those that had plugs for show....and a special Thanks to Numbskull for the plugs...I can't wait to throw them...already got hooks on them and ready to go.

Thank You
