Saw some old friends and made new ones. all around was a great time. didn't get to stick around too long as i was fighting off a cold. John R. sorry for the name mix up i don't think i've ever met that guy before...

Thanks to all the Plugfest 2009 organizers,setup and clean-up crews. You put on the best plugbuilding surfishing gathering every year through hell or high mud you get it done and set up for us Plugnuts to see everyone we converse with here at S-B.com.
Thanks John R., Slipknot, CC Mike and family,all who did the how-to's and brought great plug stuff like #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^& and M&D Tackle.
Nice to see Vineyardblues,Tom,Tagger,Dmac,BS4shore,Fishon8,Big fishLarry,Vic,Tobias and Prof.Moriarty.That is one awesome Fly Vice that the Prof. built and VB sold tickets for, that I'm gonna win.
Special thanks to Flaptail,Numbskull,Saltydog and of course Slipknot for the great display case. A true master woodworker, plugbuilder and all-around good guy.
PatrickD and NIB for making the drive up and back go much quicker with the laughs and gaffs.
Anyone else I forgot to mention,or didn't meet this time. We need name tags
And thanks to all the members here and the kids who are the next generation of Striper surfishing enthusiasts.
p.s. ...and great to see EastEndLu make the trip. He travels far too.

NIB gave us extra jet power on the way home.

The Vineyard is calling. It would be great to hit the sands there again.

The best time ever!

Plugfest was the best time ever! Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to put on this great event. It was great meeting the folks that make such great stuff and share so much information. I hope I can make this event every year to come.


Thanks for taking me fishing Grandpa!

To funny, for thoose that didn't know the magnet was an attempt to keep the belly hook from causing diggers/scratches while casting.....but if you looked there is a scratch that was caused by the one fish I did catch with it. Someone (sorry my memory fails me) outside gave me a simple and yet easier solution....a rubber band. I look foward to meeting all of you talented folks again and do hope there will be name tags (thanks raven yours worked).

Thanks to all who organized this epic event. Great way to get more of fix on the addiction. Thanks to Numbskull for his tutatorial on needle swimming and the Blood red darter, Z for the trombone lesson and PNG on the offset turning demo. We had 12 members from CSA attend , many who were first timers. They were impressed for sure. Woody took the restoration award. First Plugfest event. Next year's will definately be crowded. Somewhat like they said in JAWS, "We need a bigger hall"!!

Him and his brother were bending my ear pretty good about plugmaking. They were talking to me then. Nice guys. We talked about all your favorite spots once I told him I knew you and I was originally from Franklin

for such a small room i missed a lot. I got hemmed in most of the time, but still had a ball. I missed the plug turning by Chris , again. Going to have to have a private lesson one of these days. Didn't even realize Karl was a no show till after the fact, missed the wood guy , missed most of the food, missed the plug loading but did get one off Dave. Need to have name tags again. I am sure I met lots of people who I have no idea of their names, still.

Plugfest was fun, I wish I could have stayed longer...missed seeing a lot of attendees. There was quite a mob there! As always, there is some fine work displayed, I am always surprised .

Thanks to numbskull for the plugs. Please PM me your address, I will send you a couple.

I missed K, too. Missed a lot of folks who were there but probably bumped into them on my rounds.

Just wanted to thank everyone involved! John R nice to meet you, Mike thanks for the discount, it made my wife happy. Ted thanks for the plug, love your stuff. Larry i guess im not a lurker anymore. After a year of mistakes I may find something too offer. And mostly to all the great plug builders that share their talents to us new guys. Didn't know what to expect, will next year. Because of you Rockfish i have two things that consume my life, the pursuit of the stripes and turning for that pursuit! Should have never watched that HOW TO pictorial, and i thought i was going to save money! Thanks again. hope i didn't step on too many toes. Oh ya also thanks for any votes i got for the squidster. My first creation! Happy Trails
