Hi-Mar Striper Fishing Club fishing flea market
Went to the Middletown VFW today to check out the fleamarket. It was pretty crowded. I got there a little late, but still got a chance to meet some good people. I also met some members of the Hi-Mar Striper fishing club, nice guys. :thumbsup:
There was a little something for everyone. I saw more new stuff at this market than some of the other ones. Lots of reels and rods, tons of flies, teasers, spoons, jigs, plugs regular and custom, crab and fish traps, gear, hunting stuff, etc.
Most of the people I saw leaving had a bag in their hands, so it's safe to say a lot of people found deals they were happy with. Hats off to the Hi-Mar club for putting on a great show. :clapping:

New Plug Builder: Lures4You
Met a new plug builder today. His name is Russ, he's out of Piscataway. Somehow I always screw up the plugbuilder shots because I'm in too much of a hurry. :D
A little background on Russ: He's only been doing this awhile, but he learned from one of the best in the business! He told me Tony Spina took him under his wing, and taught him a lot of what he knows. :clapping:
Every show I go to, I meet more and more people who know or have a debt of gratitude to Tony Spina (also a Hi-Mar member) One of these days I'm gonna run into Tony himself!
In the meantime, I don't know anything about Lures4you, how they swim, or if they catch fish.
I did see a bunch of nice pics Russ had and was proudly displaying, of all the fish that were caught on his plugs. He says they go over great down South, where they are used offshore for more aggressive fish, and they are just starting to catch on here in the Northeast.
They look like decent plugs, some come dressed with bucktail, and he's selling them for a decent price, around $16, which seems very reasonable for a custom plug.
He won't be at the Asbury show, and doesn't have a website yet. He will be at some more area shows. If you want to find out more about his plugs, how they swim, if they can take a beating on the rocks, just ask him.
He seems like a pretty personable guy, and I got the sense that he takes great pride in his work. :thumbsup:

Kugler's bucktails and teasers
The Kuglers are local vendors out of the Morganville NJ area. I usually see Mr. Kugler and one or both of his sons at the Asbury show in March.
