PA, where are you ?
He hasn't been on the Forum since the 1st January.
Has anyone heard from him ?

[Blue spinner]

but it will be a few weeks

[Steve Stinson]

I was wondering the same thing. I have one of those old bone / silver glitter Dalton Specials made for him and need his home address to mail it.

NO THE OLD MAN HASNT KICKED THE BUCKET YET, JUST WORE OUT. MY HANDS ARE SO TIGHT I CAN HARDLY TYPE ANYMORE, HAVE TO HEN PECK AND THAT TAKES FOREVER TO TYPE ANYTHING. WHEN THE COLD WEATHER COMES IN , UNCLE ARTHUR TAKES OVER THE OLD MAN,, CAN HARDLY DO ANYTHING EXCEPT EAT, SLEEP, AND WATCH T/V. MY ADDRESS IS 2809 HWY. 93 SOUTH, CAIRO, GA. I KNOW I WILL APPRECIATE THE OLD DOLPHIN PLUG, MY BOY PUT THE LAST ONE I HAD ON AND ONE OF MY BASS TOOK IT AWAY FROM HIM, IT IS PROBABLY HOOKED ON ONE OF THE SHORT STUMPS IN THE POND. I WAS TEMPTED TO DRAIN THAT POND BUT I WAS ADVISED NOT TO DO THAT. WHEN THESE PLUGS GET HOOKED UNDER WATER THEY LOOSE ALL PAINT AND JUST LOOK LIKE BONE.
WELL I AM ABOUT GIVE OUT, WILL HAVE TO END FOR NOW.
THANKS

I WILL DROP THAT PLUG IN THE MAIL TO YOU AS SOON AS I GET ANOTHER CLEAR-COAT ON IT. I HOPE IT'S CLOSE TO THE ONES YOUR BUDDY MADE. IF YOU DON'T GET TO FISH WITH IT, YOU CAN HANG IT ON THE WALL SOMEPLACE AND LET IT REMIND YOU OF THE FISHING MEMORIES WITH YOUR BUDDY.

I HAD HOPED TO HAVE IT DONE BEFORE CHRISTMAS, BUT IT'S BEEN SO COLD AND RAINY THAT MANY TIMES I CAN'T PAINT OR USE THE CLEAR COAT IN MY SHED DUE TO THE TEMPERATURE OR DAMPNESS.

I GAVE A AWAY ALL THE GOOD LOOKING PLUGS I HAD AROUND CHRISTMAS, AND LEFT MYSELF WITH ALL THE ONES THAT DIDN'T TURN OUT SO GOOD. I TEND TO KEEP ALL THE ONES THAT SWIM SIDEWAYS, DO LOOPS, OR HAVE ONE EYEBALL. I'M NOT SURE THIS IS TURNING OUT THE WAY I PLANNED....

Glad to see you are about and as ornery as ever PA , its 28F here today and thats cold enough for me.
Your Uncle Arthur is no friend to anyone and this weather certainly brings out the worst in him.
Best to stay in and enjoy a hot toddy.

So pleased to see you, I posted twice.

I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT PA IS STILL KICKIN'. I STOPPED BY HIS HOUSE ON THE WAY BACK FROM THOMASVILLE TODAY TO DELIVER HIS LURE. WE TOOK A FEW MINUTES TO TELL FISHING STORIES AND LOOK AT SOME OLD RESTORED FARM TRACTORS IN HIS GARAGE.

HAVING HAD THE PLEASURE OF HAVING FISHED WITH PA SEVERAL TIMES I CAN TESTIFY THAT HE IS THE "KING" OF TOPWATER FISHING AND I KNOW HE'LL PUT STEVE'S PLUG TO GOOD USE. I WISH I HAD VIDEO OF PA TALKING TROUT INTO A STRIKE ON TOPWATER AT PLACES WE FISHED SUCH AS ICONFINA, ST MARKS, AND ST ANDREWS BAY.

AND PA THAT ROSE BUSH YOU GAVE ME FOR PRIS IS STILL ALIVE. THAT'S GOT TO BE A RECORD IN OUR YARD!

HEY STEVE, IT WAS GOOD SEEING YOU AGAIN, THE LAST TIME I SAW YOU WAS AT A TAKE A KID FISHING ABOUT 5 YRS. AGO. I TIED THAT PLUG ON AND WENT ACROSS THE ROAD TO THAT SMALL LAKE AND ON THE THIRD CAST CAUGHT 3 # BASS, HAD HER FOR SUPPER . IT STARTED TO RAIN AND I WENT BACK TO THE HOUSE AND DRESSED THE BASS, THAT FISH HAD 2 SMALL COTTON MOUTH IN HER BELLY.
YEA DON, I REMEMBER ONE TRIP WE TOOK OVER TO PANAMA CITY , YOU HAD A COUNTER AND CLICKED EACH TROUT WECAUGHT, SEEMS LIKE WE PUT OVER 200 IN THE BOAT THAT DAY ALTHOUGH MOST WERE ON THE SMALL SIZE WE STILL HAD PLENTY TO TAKE HOME FOR SUPPER.
BRYAN, SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE HAVING A LITTLE MORE COLD WEATHER THAN WE HAVE HAD THIS YEAR, WE MADE UP FOR IT WITH THE MOST RAIN THAT HAS EVER BEEN RECOREDED THIS YEAR.
THANKS FOR THE RESPONSES FELLAS, I REALLY ENJOY RECEIVEING THEM.
