Chum's lures make me want to take a hammer to my lathe.Unbelievable work, I wouldn't a been surprised if they stank today from not being on ice. Perfect! Tagger you shouldn't have, but I'm happy as heck you did, can't wait to fish'em. Flaptail, thank you very much! Professor Moriarity, I still stunned at those metal needles, thanks for the trade! What a GREAT time I had. Dave, I still can't believe you drive all the way from NJ!!! I'll never whine about the drive again! Kudos to BigFish and his crew!!

Thanks to Larry and all the people who made the event possible. Some very nice plugs there. I really enjoyed Flaps talk on the history of plug making, some of the people who made them, and how to work certain lures. A fun night had by all.

I wish I could have made it, but I had business engagements, which ran into a diner meeting to boot

. The new job is a blessing and a curse, I love the benefits and security, but I miss the freedom of being self employed.

Thanks to MSBA for the invite. Thanks to all for the trades. Wish I had more to trade. Next time. Great to put faces to names. Nice job by all involved with setting up the event. Nice to see a good chunk of change going to a good cause. The plug builder's workmanship is unparalled anywhere, both comm. and private builders. I got the Zombie Woof behind my eyes today though. Got home at 12 from show up at 8 to the beach all day with wife and kid then all the way home clean boat turn right around and go back to Cape to work till 1 Am. Still not as bad as JPI had driving too and fro NJ though. I am already thinking about Plugfest. Paul

Great job Big Fish. I kept thinking that these plugs were works of art, but more importantly great lures. The quality was amazing. Looking forward to a big fish hitting a big lure.

Thanks for the kind words Hardcore From Shore! Did I meet you the other night?

It's Bill. By the way fish up on the surface between 6AM and 7:00 AM inside Pleasure Bay in Southie every morning for the last week or 2 feeding on tiny bait. But they do take plugs and metal. 3 of my 4 stripers (shorts-to 24 inches) this AM were on my home tied teaser in front of the big smack it for distance. Some fish over 30 inches in the mix as well.

I have been to site many times before, just never posted. The plug night deserved the credit of a post. Picking up my fish a few a day. I expect more, but then again I expect a fish on every cast, but I am never disappointed because it is just so good to be out fishing, seeing sunrises, seeing fish and birds.

Off to work, but I plan on visiting my local striped bass Tuesday AM.
