like saltheart said.

it's a great compliment to the plug builder AND your presentation when a bird does that.

I love it when the tern hovers and actually dives at my offering. but it surely is better when the hunter comes from below

pluggin' for boids

I don't know if this story is true. But a friend told me that he was plugging for bass on the Cape and a large bass took the plug and broke him off at the exact moment a gull hit the plug too. The bass and the gull were thrashing in the water, both hooked to the same plug.

The big bass kept taking the thrashing gull underwater, and eventually, they both disappeared.

Truth is stranger than fiction.

Three-fourths of the Earth's surface is water, and one-fourth is land. It is quite clear that the good Lord intended us to spend triple the amount of time fishing as taking care of the lawn.

About 7 years ago, two buddies and I went out to western mass for the duck opener. We got out early, motored across this pond, and splashed our dekes. It was a slow morning, I took a woody, and not much else flew by. We were drinking coffee, eating sandwiches and basically shooting the breeze. All of a sudden we here this tremendous splash, and turn in time to see a hawk flying away with one of our dekes. He flew about 60 yards or so and realized it was a fake, and dropped it. It was quite a site.
