Hey #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&, about them "online" shops and "new" stuff.....

[TimS]

Hey Bill, I was "informed" about your tweak...very nice. You might need to get out of the smallest state in the union if yer head get's any bigger! ;^) Anyway, I'll assume that mine is the "online" shop that "pushes" new stuff to which you were refering...I could be wrong, but lets pretend anyway. Just a couple notes....

Did you ever see, touch, feel, or try any of the "new" things? Then how are you qualified to form opinions about them? Just a thought....

When was the last time you spent time in all the other spots folks fish besides RI? There are other places you know! ;^) They all require different lures, different techniques, and different "thinking caps". A general rule of thumb I go by is that if I ain't done it, I don't tell others how they should do it...but then, I'm not "The #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&", omnipotent striper guy! ;^)

So, my point? I'm gonna be up yer way, leaving tonight, why do you come to the Ditch any night from now till Saturday night and "fish circles around" me? How 'bout Charlie? You can "fish circles around" him as well, no? Let's do it, bring your bucktails, pack some eels. I wanna see some circles! For the most part, I agree, a bucktail jig is the most versatile lure made, I sell loads of them, I use loads of them, but there are times and places for "new" stuff....come on up and prove me wrong, us armchair anglers couldn't possibly be fit to lace up your korkers and are dying to know just what it is we're doing wrong ;^)

Much as JohnM's post, this is mostly in jest, a poke at the king poker, but the invite/challenge is indeed real. How 'bout it Bill?
