I'm sure one of the last things John thought of when he was creating this site, was a "Memorial" page....but with all the members we've lost throughout the years, perhaps it would be an honorable gesture to create such a page?
Maybe move threads such as these, over to that page once they've been on the main page for a week?
Just a thought...

I have some of the old Memorial Pages when I ran them on the front end of the site. Maybe I can restore that after I fix the forum (need a free weekend). Good thinkin' Bloo |

A great memory just popped into my head about Bernzy (kind of). When I first started turning plugs I copied 2 peoples lures (for my own use) to get used to turning shapes by hand......one was John Has 2 oz. needlefish which I caught my first fish on a plug I made on, and the second was Bernzy's "Surf Howdy"! I had that "Surf Howdy" out on the beach at Race Point one day and I could see the stripers sliding through the incoming waves with the sun backlighting them (it was beautiful)! Anyway I was working that "Howdy" across the top of the waves as they came in and I could see the stripers lunge out of the waves and crush that lure! I caught about 80 fish that afternoon! It was a great day and I have Bernzy to thank for it!  |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!
