Title: My good luck charms...!
Post by: Aiala on June 05, 2015, 10:29:41 PM
Okay, so a while back I bought a Cork Puppy from Dwight (Newell Nut), and with it he very kindly included a couple of the mother-of-pearl shells that he uses to decorate his custom rods. Well, they were so pretty that I had them mounted in 14K gold (yeah, I'm a princess) and now I have these beautiful earrings to wear on the SOA trip:

I'm hoping that some of Dwight's angling prowess will rub off on me so I can catch a big fat WSB like the Boss did last year.  ;D

Thanks so much... Newell Nut rocks!  :D

Yo Fisherman Paul,

Be sure to read the forum rules.  We have a 12 year old rule,  which means basically Alan's daughter should be able to read over his shoulder without reading anything coarse.

We don't judge, we just wash your mouth out with soap.   ;D

Cannot wait to fish with you, hope you get your personal best out there! Almost a week til' we leave port!!!

Super Deluxe! They are going to look good on you no matter what the fishing is.  But what the others said....let's see some pics with you and your catches!

Mine is a self carved Maori style hook. Works for me.
