While one of rec.boats sh*theads (aka Jim) was here posing as me, I was
in Deale early this morning at the Tri-State Marine fisherman's flea
market. I was amazed by the crowd. The market opened at 7:30, I got
there just before 8, and there were at least 300 people inside, looking
over stuff on the vendors' tables. Very little there interested me,
though I did "connect" with a guy who builds very nice custom rod at
decent prices.

Most of the gear being sold was targeted at the guys who tow heavy
umbrella rigs ISO stripers. Not for me.

But I did buy a handful of nice wood topwater plugs from a fellow
selling this guy's wares:

http://www.piersonplugs.com/

I bought a couple of each. They're not very expensive, they're "pretty,"
and the guy hawking them told me how he caught some nice stripers up at
the Bay Bridge.

I prefer sight and topwater fishing, so I'm sure these will be fun.

Of course, because you are far superior to any other fishermen
anywhere.

Umbrella rigs aren't the only way to catch stripers. I don't know why
you bash striper fishing so much, they are one of the best fighting
fish there are, and they taste good too. Fishing for stripers isn't
nearly as boring as bottom fishing for flounder.

But striper fishing is SO far beneath someone of your extreme
sophistication.

If you'll look carefully, you'll find very few pics of Harry and fish. Ever
wonder why?

I'm not a fan of him either, but this post defines your narcissism, Krause.

Never modified a lure, but you've said you replace the treble hooks.
How do you go about that?

It depends on how they are attached to the lure. In the case of these
plugs, the builder used miniature "cup hooks" to hold on the trebles.
I'll be able to open the cup hooks a hair, slip off the treble, and slip
on a single hook. Sometimes I use a short piece of 50# braid to attach a
single hook to a lure.
