Every Month....keeps me sane. Besides February's trip we have a cabin on a lake and are taking the boys out Ice Fishing. Not exactly roughing it....unless you count eating their cooking.

Anyways, I've been lucky enough to make the last 3 so it was bound to happen sooner or later.....

Matt no you aren't able to buy plugs. You just walk aropund look soulfully at the people who are there showing what they build, then you get on the floor hold their leg and beg for them to give you one of their plugs. Also known as "hoing plugs".

You can also learn more than you can imagine at a Plugfest. Not just plug building but fishing them also. Come you will enjoy it.

striperondafly · 12-31-2008, 11:08 PM

may be time to make the roadtrip

BigFish · 01-01-2009, 12:12 AM

There were plugs for sale last year.

Ken_J · 01-01-2009, 12:42 AM

Is this event for:

Selling?
Buying?
Trading?
Discussing?
Learning?

Builders get tables?

or

Just a general get together for plug builders and everyone else interested in plugs and fishing etc??

All of the above? Would really like to go to one of these events. I started building about a year ago.

Thanks

BigFish · 01-01-2009, 12:48 AM

Many builders display their work. Some swap, some sell a few, many admire.......its a great day of sensory overload! Lots of fun! There are many demonstrations on several facets of lure building. There are many displays of vintage antique lures. Then there is the pot luck buffet which has always been magnificent! Its the plug building social event of the season! Its open to all interested Ken J...there is a small fee at the door.

Here's how we did it last year. Friday morning drive to Stratford CT to pick up Woodbuster. We talk plugs in his shop lon enough to rest a bit. Then up to Buzzards Bay to Lindsey's for a fried clam dinner. Then we run over to the Days Inn in Middleborough to stay the night. Next morning a short run down 495 to the Fest. Home to NJ in the PM.

This year I am hoping to include eel punt in the Jersey contingent.

ProfessorM · 01-02-2009, 07:19 PM

go Brian it will be fun, but a long trip. Maybe we can meet for a beer the nite before as I am like 2 or 3 miles from the Middleboro Days Inn. Last year I tired but couldn't make it to see Bill for a beer.

go4broke44 · 02-18-2009, 06:51 PM

what time does this go til? Can't make it for 10, looking more like a later arrival if possible.
