Looking forward to this winter so I can try some new stuff. Now that I'm working in a stair shop I have tons of different wood to try turning. I have some older plugs that were my dads that I will be copying. (Capt. Bills). Also stocking up on Danny's and Pencils. And hopefully some trage bait for Plugfest.

I know its early but has there been any dates thrown around for Plugfest yet?

Learn the basics.

You've got to start somewhere.

that is the best part, after you figure out the sequences it isn't as much fun , for me anyway. Good luck and enjoy the process.

Given that you have been Joe's fishing partner.... I think you will find your learning curve pretty steep. He is a wealth of information and has jigs for most of the difficult steps. Rockfish9, Numbskull, and Capesams would have to be the top three I would want to apprentice with.

Great topic.

I have a lot of hope for the building season. There has been a lot of interest in the flaptails and the J-bugs, so I have a lot of those to build.
I love the surfsters and will make them in two sizes and two weights for each size.

I had great luck slaying muskies with gliders this season, and plan on making two sizes of this type of glider (my version of the Seacow/ manta) very tricky to weight, they are an underwater neutrally buoyant glide bait. This pic about 10" and almost 6oz.



I want to try some Goo Goos and work dilligently at adding some new, more complex paint patterns. Shop is in chaos right now, thats this weekends project.

Sad to have to prep the boat and put away for the year, but very excited to get building. I hope the snow out East isn't too bad for you guys, saw the strom damage on the news.....Geeshhhh!
