I had to build a new "booty board" for the wall... after this last plug fest, the old one just didnt cut it, I got the last of them on it last night, all except Finatics bottle stopper plug.. that went upstairs when the boss lady tucked it behind her back and skullked off up the stairs... one day with you guy's and she's turned into a plug Ho!

A good run is better than a bad stand!

that's funny Joe

Well, I did manage to take about 5 minutes to trade for about 3 plugs, one is a googooman popper that I will be fishing even though I don't have any other of Glen's plugs. Another is an blue offset swimmer from I think his name is Larry, was sitting next to linesider(Chuck), I had all I could do to keep Ernie(mr.striper) from prying that one away from me. Angler229 / Dan traded me an awesome cowboy he was going to fish himself this plug is flawless and impecable, I bet it is better than a beachmaster
One guy who has continued to hand me a plug each and every year of plugfest is BackbeachJake Fred you are the best, man Each year I see your plug building get more and more exact and precise, I love that plug, Thank you very much.
Numbskull is another generous builder who said take a plug Bruce, and I grabbed that slim swimmer thank you George
I finally met BillC and it was a pleasure, he presented me with what he said was his finest work to date, a beautiful pikie. SWEET! We'll have to trade some more Bill, I owe you.
Jeffthechef wanted me to have one of his plugs and I chose a swimmer with dots on it similar in shape to an RM Smith. Thank you so much Jeff
I was glad to see Chum made it with Arne and Digger, Matt gave me an unbelievable surfster with so many paint styles on it it is amazing you are too much Matt, thank you so much for this priceless work of art. I had to wipe the drool off it from all the others that saw it

Forgot to mention the other 3 plugs I won in the raffle, a sweet junior from chrisjoe13. And a nice needle by backbeach, and a pencil from someone.

I got a present Friday night from Joe rockfish9 when he came by, he beat me to handing him a Patriot plug since I have not finished the ones I am making, and this plug is a beauty, nice Roman nike, Thanks Joe And that wasn't enough for Joe, Sat. he says pick out a plug before they are gone so I gladly choose a long slim swimmer with a perfect paintjob, Thanks
And then to top the day off I win the double award winning Rockfish9 Flaptail re-creation

so ya, I admit I fondled a few.
Now I need a special case for some of the primo plugs I have received over the years.

Thanks Everyone.

Next year I will have more plugs and make more time to trade and speak with all of you, but I say that every year
