2 cents, for what it's worth

should I wear waders, so I can stand in the kiddy pool?
was SRO in there last year.. might not be a bad idea

BTW..Yeah on Jigman, he'd be a shoe-in for long distance award, and best plug.. two twinkies up.

How about a Hobbyist division, and a Commercial division?

A newbie division?

OK..

Seriously tho... don't make a mountain out of a mole hill...

K.I.S.S.

Whomever runs it, do it your way, and let the chips fall, where they may.. anybody don't like it.. sign them up to run it next year, and they can do it their way

Why does this have to get so complicated ? If anything... I think we should dumb it down a bit (although I do like the creative/fishable catagories). No more most likely to catch a cow etc... And enough with this "champ" sh it,

Why can't it be simple?

Like this:

2 Catagories... Creative/Off the wall and Fishable Lure

Each entrant can enter 1 plug in each catagory or pick just one.

All Plugs must be made of wood, can be lathe turned, hand carved, lazer engraved, dragged behind a speeding vehicle... whatever you want.

If you guys want a swim test than only the fishable plug should have to swim or both?

Voters will pick 3 plugs for each of the 2 catagories, giving 1st place 3 points, 2nd 2 points and 3rd 1 point. All points will be tallied and the winners will have the highest score (obviously)

You guys decide the prizes. And for crissakes, let's not make this another S-B shootout.... this and everything else on this board is supposed to be fun.... I know, I know I'm guilty too

Oh and let me be the first to call "not bringing the kitty pool"

Does that sound easy and fair?

What, no category for lead

1) two categories: fishable and anything goes.
2) builder can enter as many as one plug in each category
3) all plugs entered are raffled off with proceeds going to support the site
4) in the case of an out of state winner, the twinkies will be given to Freak so he can feel like a winner too

Yea... except I'm kind of a wimp about the raffle thing.... After spending 20 hours on something I'm reluctant to let her go

Not that any of you plug builders need incentive but I'll offer the winner a guided trip surfcasting my home water in Newport. Least I could do to support this website. Must win the "classic plug" catagory.

Incentive
Not to build, but to make the long drive from VT. For some reason I can do it to fish but to look at plugs... A prize like that would make it worth it.
Nice offer

I work in Education and this whole discussion reminds me of the one thing I abhor about educators. They form committees to form committees. Let's let this years organizers set the day and we all live with it. Simple I know but it works.

Why even try.........

You're getting cranky from all of those years working in Education. Something I abhor about educators - most of 'em never worked in the real world - Anyway

How's this?

Three Classes:

Best FISHING Plug - Including Classics, Innovative, Serious plug for the art of fishing. Sub category Best Plug, Most Artistic, Best Classic, Most Innovative?

Novice (less than 2 years building?) - Something to welcome some of the newer builders. Sub category Best Plug, Best Paint, Best Classic

Novelty - Anything legal and mostly ethical (that won't make a 14 year old blush).

Similar to last year, anonymous drop off, High Twinkie Factor, (auction is up to you guys, it does help the site but it is not required - entirely up to you all).

Prizes will be light but respectable - figure a gift certificate or two for supplies and DZ had a very generous offer for some NPTSRFCSTN


Ronnie - anyone is welcome, except Raider fans ....

WOW, that's mighty nice of you Dennis Thanks

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
