Bouys & Gulls,

So far it's been a great year for us at Tattoo's Tackle. We would like to thank all of you that have supported us by sharing your thoughts about our products, fishing them and purchasing them.

With that in mind, we will be giving away some fine pluggage to current members of the Bassbarn.com this coming week, just in time to gear up for the fall run.

Time to do your homework and study up on your surf fishing history.Bring your pencil, don't be late for class, and no passing notes! :eek:

Stay tuned.....

First prize - Large Metal Lip Swimmer 2.5oz , Color - Bunker

In the 70's there was a tackle shop that was the center of it all on Cape Cod. It was located in North Eastham.

[Sheet_Da_Bed]

So, does this mean I get an "A+" on today's test?!?!?;)

[Fishenough]

Yes, you do. I'm sure you were an A+ student during your school days. But I guess plugs weren't given out by teachers.:)

[Sheet_Da_Bed]

Bass Run.......one of the first places to be "in the pink".

[Scarface]

I'm gonna say Bass Run, so you can say I am copying.

Very nice of you, to do this type of thing. We had a sponsor on here a few years ago who stated he was giving stuff away, but it never materialized.

It is da sheet!!! Love that plug!

[DJ COAST]

Bass Run Tackle Shop, "its all about the pink"

[Tattoo]

Sheet Da Bed, yes, your correct. Sned me your mailing address and I'll get that plug out to you.

Scarface, sorry to hear about past experiences, but I'm sure the members here can speak on my companies behalf, that we stansd behind everything we say and make. I think this is the third give-a-way we have had here at the barn.

Nightstrikes - Those 2oz darters are due out in August as promised. It was going to be the first week in august, but we got side tracked on another project. You can read about it here. http://www.insideline.net/articles/topwatertoo.htm

Tomorrow another question and another prize. The questions will be more difficult as the week goes on.

[Fishenough]

Congrats Ree.:)

[Tattoo]

Next Question,

Jack Frech, well known NY fishermen and also a plug maker. He is well known for the Montauk Darter,and of course the Banana Plug.

He marked most of his plugs, How and where?

The Prize,

1 - Everlasting Eel, Color - Black / Purple.

Yes folks, thats black and purple! Not even in the stores yet! All you have to do is outsmart your fellow fisherman and you can be one of the first to have one.

[Fishenough]

He marked his name Frech or professor on the bottom back of plug. I also read where he use to use Polar Bear fur to tie the tail hooks.

[Red_Cherokee]

:D Nick shoots!! He scores!!!!!!

[Red_Cherokee]

Here is some good reading:

[Sheet_Da_Bed]

Dammit!!! I was too slow today cuz I gotta work!!!:D :D :D Way to go Fishenough!!! You were waiting huh?!?!?;)

[Fishenough]

Yo Red I think I might be wrong. I just read something else that makes me think his signature maybe different.

[Red_Cherokee]

I read some stuff but didn't see anything about the siggy. Mike is making em tougher. :D

[Fishenough]

Dammit!!! I was too slow today cuz I gotta work!!!:D :D :D Way to go Fishenough!!! You were waiting huh?!?!?;)

I was, sad isn't it.:) I was just hoping the question would be posted before I had to make the kids breakfast.:D

Scott, I actually based the answer off of a diagram. SOmetimes looking at a pic is better.;)

[Scarface]

Sheet Da Bed, yes, your correct. Sned me your mailing address and I'll get that plug out to you.

Scarface, sorry to hear about past experiences, but I'm sure the members here can speak on my companies behalf, that we stansd behind everything we say and make. I think this is the third give-a-way we have had here at the barn.

Tomorrow another question and another prize. The questions will be more difficult as the week goes on.

Mike,
In no way was I throwing any digs at you or your company, my post stated that is was " nice of you to do this". I know how many things you have given away on the Bassbarn I was just showing my appreciation for a sponsor to give back to the folks who support them. :)

Andy

[striper_man131]

Dammit!!! I was too slow today cuz I gotta work!!!:D :D :D Way to go Fishenough!!! You were waiting huh?!?!?;)

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! :D :D :D

[TheSpaniard]

Just taking another guess here. I read that Frech marked some of his lead with and "F" that he used making his banana plug. Could he have marked the darter on the bottom in the back with a "F".

John

[striper_man131]

I'll buy you another one. :rolleyes: Order it.

Fine I'll take you up on that:D

[rockdoc]

He actually marked them with a pencil, for example, when marking the contour of the diving plane....I guess he marked them in numerous places in the process of making them...I realize that this is probably not what you meant when you posted your question (I'm assuming you meant a signature?), but technically he did mark them with a pencil in the process of making them....thanks---Mike

[Tattoo]

Spainard - Your right on with the letter "F" in the lead weight.

Send me your address and I'll get that plug in the mail to you.

The rest of you will have to wait until tomorrow for another question.:p

[Fishenough]

:( Congrats Spaniard

[striper_man131]

I cant win, the questions are asked several hours before I wake up

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA:D

[Brian E. Mullaney]

set your alarm Ant :) Mike rises early like your Pops and me and Ree :)

[striper_man131]

Good thing is Brian, if dad wins, the plug somehow makes it's way into my plug bag;)

[TheSpaniard]

WOW, Thank you very much!!! I will certainly put the plug to good use.

Thanks again, John

[Tattoo]

Musso made some jointed darters back before they moved to plastic. Word has it that Don Musso made them for one person.

Next up - Jr swimmer - Olive top, yellow side, white belly. A killer color I usually paint for the regulars that show up at the shop.

This company was making plugs for only a few years in NJ. One of them was the "Fire Plug" What was the name of this company?

[Fishenough]

Emmerson & Ruhren Co.East Patterson, New Jersey?????

I'm so confused

[TheSpaniard]

Pretty sure I got this one too. Someone else please answer this cause I am never this lucky and I think I may use up all this luck and I have fish to catch this weekend...

John

[TheSpaniard]

Fishenough, Thats who I was thinking.

Hey John,

Email me the answer and I will answer it ;) :D

[Fishenough]

Fishenough, Thats who I was thinking.

I hope your mojo rubs off on me.

[Tattoo]

Fishenough - Right on!

Send me an email with your mailing address.

That one was kind of easy. Just wait until tomorrow!:eek:

[TheSpaniard]

Congrats Fishenough.

Cool, that was such a guess. Thanks Mike!!!!

[Sheet_Da_Bed]

Alright Nick!!! Good job!!!:)

[Fishenough]

Rea, I pulled that out of my a$$. I just made a guess.

Spaniard, thanks for letting me win a plug. How do you know so much about vintage plugs?

[TheSpaniard]

Fishenough, I really do not know a whole lot about old plugs, but after this week im sure I will have vastly increased my knowledge. I too pulled the Steve Campo answer from nowhere yesterday. Its really cool reading about the legends of striper fishing and how these guys perceived the fishing world 20 plus years ago.

John
