The first of many

Obviously it's not up to par with you guys, but it is my first one. I figured if i copy a popular and simple paint scheme then it's gonna catch me some fish.

That'll work. Keep it up!

That plug will catch, have no fear. The most popular ( the one they have made the most of) plug in Gibb's history was the 2-1/4 oz white with a red head Polaris. Now, what does that tell ya? Kepp it going you got a nice start there.

Why even try.........

That'll work nice, real nice. Give her a try off Higgin's beach in Scarboro by the opening to the harbor.

I'm thinkin Camp Ellis or a few other spots near Kennebunk and the Saco River

Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.
