Tony,
Nice meeting you also. You are probably one of a handful of guys on our coast who could correctly identify what it was. Later on slipknot took a break from turning and we were able to put the trombone to work downstairs. He (and a few others gathered around) grasped the idea pretty quickly and may put it to use this coming season.

Afterwards as I was washing eel slime of my hands I had the pleasure of meeting SauerKraut. We had a very nice conversation about needlefish, eels and striped bass. He is a great guy to talk with. I could easily see myself casting with him and Numbskull (and Flap).

Speaking of Numbskull, how could I possibly refuse a darter when it comes in Block Island Green? Great work George. First chance during the squid run it will get wet. George, we can make a Block trip work if you really want to - I'll guide. Just bring Sauerkraut along in case the bass are eel crazy.

Flap - What a wonderful piece of artwork you gifted me - my highlight of the day. My wife has a degree in Art History and she absolutely loved it. You have great talent Steve!

Tagger - Your imitation of the needle that took my largest bass is special right down to the color. Looking forward to our visit in November.

To the rest of the gang who put on Plugfest - great job. It was jam packed at times - almost as crowded as SW Bar on a November Saturday evening when the cows are "IN". Had a great time.

Thanks

DZ

Thumbs up

My two favorite plug makers are Numby and this guy. A great plug maker fro New Jersey and just a great guy. A legend holds a legend.

Matt "Chumbucket" Tomczyk.

Matt please swim the plug and then make a your version of it. I think that design and you are the perfect match.

The Holy Grail of plugs, mine shook, too. I still get light-headed in it's presence...

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
