Needlefish??

Needlefish were spotted early this morning all the way in at Town Cove in Orleans. They are on dry land at Goose Hummock. Yep....Habs Needlefish. Delivered by the Easter Bunny himself. I finally got mine. It was the best catch for me so far this year. I'm going to build a lucite case and just look at them. Can anyone suggest a polishing compound?
I'm sure that they will be gone before the tide turns shortly.

Got a bag full myself at about 8:00 am...had the pick of the litter too! All colors, sizes and choice of stubby or regular needles. Spent about $300.00, (had to get a few for my buddies too!). Had a great opportunity to finally talk with John Haberek himself for awhile! You are a class act JHabs, nice talking with you! Thanks again JHabs for the "Habs" hat that you gave me, much appreciated and it will see the surf soon. Hope to do some fishing with you this season should you find the time. (Always nice to make new friends).

JHabs, thanks also for hooking me up with those items I needed. You are truely a great guy.

My eyes are sore now from looking at all of those great plugs you had on display!

Surely Bassey, the only compound I can recommend to you is Vaseline......and for the needlefish, maybe some lemon pledge!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Vaseline, huh?? Whew.....that's scary

Hmmm....well, come to think of it he does make the 3 oz model....then there's the Macho Man one but I think that's for display purposes only....

Hey, not like there's anything wrong with that.....I mean, it's still a free country so far, I guess.

Hey, live like you wanna live, ya know, go nuts......

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

BRAGGERS! :P

U gonna share, Surely Bassey?

I would have blown some big $ as well if I was able to get down there today. I can't complain about the Habs I got at the RISSA show & another shop that some one had posted.

Question needlefish

Whats all this stuff about needlefish.
From reading these posts I can't tell if they are

I hope they are fish or lures!
