hey MAC

I am 99% sure you made this plug-

2 years ago I lost this plug while fishing and considered it long gone, but a week ago I found it wedged bewteen some rocks in the estuary I like to poke around in this time of year- hooks were rusted off, but everything else looks pretty good..
I thought you would like to see it, so heres a couple pics..

Thanks for the pic but I didn't build it. That's a guppy pencil.

2 years later, wow. If I were you I'd fish that.

Problem is, it only lasts for one day - and they don't let you rest on your laurels

Don't ask me how I know...

"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.

Thumbs up

That plug came back to you for a reason, fish it.....

He that would make his own liberty secure, must guard even his enemy from oppression; for if he violates this duty, he establishes a precedent that will reach to himself.
