I went to the A&P now GU (GOO) in P-town thisAM to buy eggs for breakfast with my fishing family. An older gent, JoeC, approached me and asked how the fishing was going. My sour self described my luck. As the conversation proceeded, he started telling me a story about a super-plug from back in the day. He described watching another fisherman snap in off and then finding it later himself. Thinking why not and tied it on. On cast, one fifty later he was sold. found out a local named ConradM built it. By now I was on to him. And I said that DannyP started building them didn't he. Yes he said. Look over here he said. He pulled that plug out of the back of his Jeep. Herring Danny Pichney Conrad. THE icon plug of the Second Rip. He also showed me some eels he had made from pork rind ....in 1975. Keeps them in brine and are dyed light blue and hand sewn from his own pattern. Yep caught 50s on them too. Has 5 50s in his career and is 85 years young. Changed my outlook on this avocation 180 degrees. Flap, you set it to music. I'm near as bitter now as when I woke. Thanks
