Hello, my name is Mike and I am an addict........to surf fishing and surf fishing related stuff.

    I watched something on '60 minutes' today, about an autistic kid that could not communicate until he was given an IPad with a special app, and then after getting the IPad everything just poured out of him. I kinda feel the same way.

I have been monitoring the site for a few weeks, just checking it out without commitment.

1) Scott, what you have built here is absolutely amazing, as are your lures and plug kits; I have purchased a few of each. I am looking forward to purchasing more!!!

2) The advice and help I have seen given here has been great, and I thank everyone before me for their contribution. I have already used the advice of many people and look forward from gaining more knowledge from everyone else. Hopefully one day I can pass on that knowledge myself.

3) The inspiration on this site to expand and do more is scary!!!! I might soon have a woodworking shop in my apartment.....until the landlord kicks me out.

About me:

I have been fishing satly waters for about 25 years. I live in Queens, NY now but have lived in RI, NJ, and PA. While I have enjoyed fishing the Mecca of surf fishing (Montauk) my heart is truely in fishing Southern RI.  I was drawn to this site because of the natural progression for fishing plugs to building plugs. For now my efforts are concentrated on rehabbing damaged lures, because a) I'm cheap, and b) my living situation doesn't allow for a work shop. This is where the Plug Kits are soooo awesome. They are opening up a door that I didn't know was there until recently.

Thank you,

Mike

My first few refinishing projects; 3 Gibbs poppers and a tattoo spook; salty's sliders are in progress - I just got done sealing them.

My name is Michael Jones.  I hunt, fish, reload, cast bullets, plant trees for wildlife habitat, can my own hot peppers, while rearing three sons with my wife of 21+ years here in Nebraska.  I don't seem to have the time to tie flies, canoe, camp, hike, metal detect, or hobby machining, which are all things I would love to do more.

I have been a tool & die guy, CNC machinist, electronics service technician, and now work in the IT department for a public utility company.

I stumbled across this website looking for lure bodies.  Actually, I would rather buy lures than make them, since I have WAY more interests in life than time.  (My biggest pet peeve is anyone whining "But there's nothing to do here!")

I have noticed that a lot of the older lures are being withdrawn from the manufacturers' product line.  The Bass Oreno, the Sputterfuss, etc.  I put in an order today for some finished lures and kits (kits are for my brother's birthday) before I even perused the whole website.

Thanks to Salty for the great products, a fine forum, and...uhmm...maybe some more freshwater designs for us trapped inland.
