I was shut out last night. The kicker was the No ho sign on Tagger stuff. I was planning to go to my car and get my drill and pop the case and put a card saying thanks for the plug.

Indians used to give gold nuggets to each other as gifts until Whitey taught them that they were worth money.

Felicia made out way better than I. I even owe her one. Hopefully I won't die from this plague I have right now. I wore out my voice yesterday and woke this morning feeling like I got hit by a bus. Glad it waited a day as I knew it was coming. I also didn't get to ho the guy with the most plugs, Rockfish. Just never got the time to persuade him. Joe maybe we can do a trade by mail.

I got a few 1sts...1st Felicia Plug, 1st Orlando Plug and 1st Numbskull plug.

Traded with Scotty's son......toughest trade of the day....the kid's got Ice water in his veins.

Got a sweet BBJ pencil in yella that should slay out at PI

Got a sweet needle from Crash that's got Joppa written all over it.

ATG Ho's jigs for plugs

KC has taken ATG Jr under his wing and was quite successful on the Ho'age front. He ho'd a bunch of bonito jigs for wood.

My 5 year old actually refused to trade with adults and only wanted to trade with kids. Thanks to KC, Austin and Sean for watching him on the Ice and taking him around. He had a blast!!!!!

I know that the "coastal gators" get a bad rap, but the West coast guys really love 'em. Real aggressive and usually very willing to hit. Pound for pound they'd pull a striper backward in a tail to tail competition. Sure does make for a good day when the bass are not cooperating...rock...glad to hear you're heading to the barn when they appear. I'll take your spot and hook on those mistake or beat up plugs, remove all trebles and squash the barbs on all siwash etc and have a ball catching and releasing 'till the arms get sore. Might even keep one for the smoker..great with salsa on crackers...or bluefish pate (Oops here comes the Old Milwaukee beer can)
