Plug Colors Part II

[NIB]

I read this over an it seems my post on plug colors turned into a Bashing of Bill Nolans article in OTW..
I don't know how this happens.i could have changed it But I wanted to appologize to Bill.It's not just U personally. I think Magazines in general feed us this warmed over stuff all the time.I Know u probably worked hard on ur piece an for me to critisize what I have never tried myself is unfair.There is only so much info u can put into a few hundred word article without spinning heads..There was a theme of the article that seemed to put down some of the newer great things that are available today.At least thats how i saw it.It was my take an my opinion.
U know what they say about opinions..
There are some very good writers in OTW.Along with some very good articles.Bill U really need to do one on ur eeling thing for us, a real breakdown on how u do..i struggle sometimes with hookups..i would love to see that article..
Sorry,, it was before i got my coffe in an i must not have been thinking right..

If you are talking about plugs you will be selling, I know I'm a sucker for a nice dark mackeral pattern. I even pay the extra buck on big Gibbs plugs.

Bingo! Half the fun of plug fishing is buying and trying different colors and types of plugs. Even if I know I'd do better sticking to white, yellow, or black,......so what? I also know I'd do better sticking to eels, chunks, or live bait.........but I don't. Granted, at night (in anything less than a full moon) it is hard to get too worked up over what color I'm throwing, but by day it is a major part of the enjoyment of plugging.

There is also the often ignored fact that most plugs are bought as luxury goods............because they make us happy.........not because we need them. In that context, color becomes crucial. So please DO NOT make a dark green back, silver side, white belly, red chinned color scheme.......lest my family goes hungry. Thanks.

What we really need are some more of those swell articles where a guy and his wife take a trip, hire a charter, and then write thrilling things about how the captain/guide put them on fish and they saw a big one and maybe you should go too, even if you can't write it off your taxes like they did. That's how I learned most of what I know.
