A sweet spook from Ted.

A nice Musso clone from Chris.

And a dry but tasty blondie from the dessert table.

My boy did better- A neat little Danny from Glenn, a sweet little surfster from Rockfish, and a tasty little Danny from Ted. Thanks to all!

Bruce,

Mac pencil is from "Town" and little weasel is from "StiperCrazy", Yellow pencil looks like Ronnies from Maine but not 100% on that one.

I'll have to take a few pictures, I gave away more than I traded for,.. which for me is the norm.. and recieved a few very special ones as well.. Thanks Slip, Salty dog and Professor for my treasurs... Paul.. you know I'll copy and tinker with those two darters.. I love the size of those little work horses and the history of the masters that created the originals...Bruce... I simply adore that plug... as soon as I go off line I have to go down to re-assemble my shop and place that plug on the wall of fame... Rick, same goes for that awsome bananna pluy.. thats IF. I can bribe Nancy into letting me have it... she is going to make me promise NOT to fish it.... also Felicia.. who has traded with me every plugfest I have been at.... she is single handly resposnible for my suypply of canal pencils.. a plug I do NOT build.. there are a few others, I just need to unpack to figure them out....Thanks again to every one that stopped by and said hello and looked at my "science" project...

A good run is better than a bad stand!

I was not worthy, but managed some from Numby, BB, Stripermainiac, Rockfish, Iamskippy, and another I did not make note of... along with a lot of tied hooks, tails and trasers from Bob! I neglected to pour over Paul's book of detailed measurements and weightings But I did manage to record a number of Numby's xray file!!! Thanks again to all!

What is the top plug in the Xray Picture... is it a Musso Darter? The 2nd one looks like a Cuttyhunk Popper

I got some neat stuff but better than the stuff is just gleaning ideas and inspiration from talking to guys and looking at all the pluggage in that room. Happens every year. I'll be in the middle of something (in this case needles), I go to plugfest & now I have no interest in the working on those needles and want to get started on trying something else...

A lot of great builders, and a lot of great fisherman in that room yesterday. Next year I need to have more stuff ready to bring to swap...

Had a great day seeing people I haven't in a while and got to swap for a bunch of great stuff again this year. Again I didn't make it around the room as much as I wanted to but I do that every year. Everyone's stuff just keeps getting better and better every year. I have usually had enough of building for the winter by now but I actually turned a few things this morning. I always see something that makes me want to try something new when I get home. Thanks everyone who swapped stuff with me. I made out like a bandit.

Thumbs up

Came home with a Patriot Pikie and a Bill Couch Popper, Swimmer. And inspiration...priceless!! Not to mention the tutorial in surf bag building. Always a pleasure and education, George. Thanks, all!

If you're talking about the bag of plugs that was taken from that little boy, that is aweful. He'd been collecting all day and storing them like a squrel hiding nuts for the winter, and at the end someone just walks away the kids bag!?!? NOT COOL!!!

Correction, bag was misplaced

My son won a raffle plug, got some stuff that was owed to me and Jake manage to sweet talk a few nice plugs out of a couple different guys. Overall we ended up with a Professor M, Slipknot, Chefchris, ODMike, Texican, Rockfish, Happy as a clam, and the raffle plug was a BidD needle. Thanks everyone. I will not be at TFCTFN, have a blast.
