Plugfest 2006 - Feb 11th - Striper Talk Striped Bass Fishing, Surfcasting, Boating

Once again we can all get together and talk plugs, swap stuff and ideas,demonstrate,compete and of course EAT. This year it will once again be at The Mitchell Memorial Club in Middlboro MA just off rt. 28 near rt. 105. Time is from 9am to 4 pm. Admission is $10 to cover hall expense among other things. They have a full kitchen so bring some grub or whatever. We should have a signup thread for who is bringing what so we don't get 50,000 donuts or nobody bringing plates or something.
We will be having the plug competition again, read about it on canalman's thread.
We also would like to demonstrate airbrushing so if anyone has a portable spraybooth that we can use, that will be most helpful. We'll need one that is capable of filtering the overspray from Createx paints since we'll be indoors. Maybe a small compressor also depending on who will be doing the airbrushing. So bring your airbrushes and some primed blanks and maybe you can get a lesson or 2. And maybe someone can bring some of that Bernzy airbrush cleaner, hopefully Bernzy himself can make it but I understand it's a long way to come.
I am not sure if we are setting up a lathe again this year, most likely we will. So we can use help with those items again, a Jet or Delta mini-lathe, shopvac, a large tarp. I can bring extension cords.

If anyone has any items they would like to donate for a raffle for the site, feel free to help out as we usually conduct a raffle to raise money for the site to help pay the bills. Ticket will be available at the hall that day.

Any help with this is appreciated, so speak up if you can bring something, and once again we'll all help each other.

There might be someone to do a talk, we're working on that.

OK see you all there.

Slip, are you having some advanced ticket sales to help defray some costs up front.

I don't think so.
I think JohnR can help with that.
I assume there will be enough people interested in this. All are welcome.

I hope some others can help out with this event as I haven't got the time to make a spraybooth at this time or in the near future.
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

Slip I have a 5 gallon compressor I can bring if you want.

See you guys there

Droolin' over plugs, swapping lies and dispensing methane, lookin' forward to it. How about a theme this year? I know all of you make some really beautiful stuff, one of a kinds with special paints, metal fins and a myriad of colors and shapes but how about anyone that brings plugs to show bring thier go to, number one fish takers? Evidence of fish catching ability such as scrapes ( bass leave tiny parallel scratches) scratches, chips, dings, divots and in a few cases in my pile, actual bluefish teeth, must be present on the plug.

I would like to see what people actually use.

Hi,

I have a spray booth that I got from work. They were throwing it out. It lists for $3000. Anyway, it has 3 exhaust fans that sit on the top. Each fan is separate. I'd be happy to bring one of the fans. The booth itself would work, but it's big. It's about 5' x 3'. The exhaust fan doesn't need to be vented outside. It has a charcoal filter.

Someone would need to provide a box to sit this on top of, or if anyone has a piece of plexi/lexan, say 24 x 24" I'll build the box so it will have the clear front. Let me know.

John, that's nice of you. I don't have any lexan or plexi but could whip up a box out of plywood if you need. PM me any details or maybe we can talk about it.

Thanks
