Those not Ho'd

fishdoc · 01-07-2007, 08:01 PM

Thought I'd post a few that I feel it's time to attach a price to so that I can afford to send CCT (Hummmm, maybe not) orders for more buildin' supplies. Like many builders I can get hung up on all of this "think outside the box" stuff. However most of the plugs that I've seen that are results of bein' "thunk" outside the box remain just there...outside my fishin' equipment box. I primarily make the plugs that I fish with..hell, that's why I started makin' 'em in the first place. Cripes I wasn't tryin' to re-invent the wheel, just make plugs that looked and fished like the ones that I've been usin' for years and with which I've had success! Needles and poppers of varying size and style are at the top of my game plan followed by metal lips and spooks. I might make some variations now and then, but out of the 12 slots I have in my "fisdoc" plug pack when I hit the beach, the majority are needles and poppers...NUFF said!

Sounds like H'Islander and Afterhours...they do a number on me!!!

Like you, couldn't come from a better bunch of guys!!! Kevin got me hooked up here and probably Don also. We've had some chuckles over the past couple of years and I just hope it continues. Ya...I'll still order from CCT!

Just got around to the epoxy phase...can't shake this friggin' cold! Some of the ones in the pics are not wired or epoxied yet.
I'll bring some when I bring you that piece of birch ply.

Great looking stuff Doc.

A lot of good comraderie and fun comes from sharing your work with other people. I really love watching people progress in their building. I know It helps me get better. And I've met some good friends through these boards.

Keep em coming young man!

Hey Armand...you made my day..."YOUNG MAN"!! Let's put it this way...Bill and I are the SENIOR members of the gang when there are get togethers. If I can't ride to the spot on the sand where they're hitting the water has to be good enough for me to drop in MY Surprise (20' CC Sea Hunt) and run to the fish. There's a story behind that boat that got lots of play over the past 6 years. I still fish the short walks, points, small bays and breachways that I can park close to. Trecking miles down the beach like I did when I was MUCH younger are a thing of the past. Oh, I'll still SLOWLY make my way down a stretch of sand and/or rock making casts, but don't be in a hurry to gat back for dinner if you're with me! LOL Right now I'm pretty much TITANIUM from the waist down...back hips and knees. You don't want to be behind me in an air terminal!

Just how much younger you ask??? Well lets put it this way...it was the mid 50's when I caught my biggest bass ever off Nauset Beach! We were fishing out of a '46 Woody, 2 WD buggy. Didn't have scales or tapes and my dad forgot the camera at home. However the fish was hangin' off both ends of the tail gate by a few inches! More damn fun than anything. I think we pushed as much as rode!
